[@celticwolff5429]

I've watched a few tutorials on infinity mirrors and this is the best of all of them. From the clear and concise way you present the process in the video to your parts list, this was great.

[@techydiy]

Thanks

[@SaltyViper]

Remember, the brighter the LEDs, the longer the tunnel will appear.

[@pookie9849]

xxXSalty_Viper420Xxx thanks :)

[@soylentgreenb]

The mirror film is more important. It should be very reflective and not very translucent at all if you want a very long "tunnel".
You can see incredibly faint things if it is dark. You can see a candle flame from a couple of kilometers away. The problem is contrast. If there's something that's very bright, it's very difficult to see something faint near it.
If the semireflective mirror is 50% reflective and 50% translucent, looking at the LED strip you will see up to 50% of the light emitted directly from the LED and it will be very bright. At only 10 bounces you have a factor of 1000 contrast between the direct path from the LED and 10 bounces. That's a lot of contrast.
If it's 90% reflective and 10% translucent, it will be 66 bounces until you reach factor 1000 contrast. The overall brightness of each bounce will be lower since you're reflecting more, but that only matters if the room is brightly lit overall. If it's dimly lit all that matters is the contrast.
At 99% reflective and 1% translucent a full 687 bounces is necessary for a factor 1000 contrast between brightest and faintest. At that point you're starting to get into dicey territory as you don't want bright ceiling lamps etc turned on.

[@taunteratwill1787]

Yeah if you have very good and expensive binoculars you can see a candle flame a couple of miles away!! ROFL.

[@andersonalmeida4097]

Congratulations on the step-by-step explanation! I liked it!!

[@mitchellzuro207]

Hey mate - they make led strip “corners” for joining two led strips on an inside corner; saves you time on soldering wire connections. Obviously, bending the strip into a corner of the frame would be a no because bent strips short out and the LED’s thin ribbon wires will snap and the circuit would break. You did what you thought was best with solder, just letting you know for more tedious builds requiring many more soldered corner connections. love the final look! Great work! :)

[@techydiy]

Good idea!

[@2107tonyface]

Brilliant instructions for infinity mirror. I have been making one for the past YEAR!I think I messed it right up. I used a thick picture frame, then took a couple of months to get a mirror to fit! 1st mistake: using rubber sealant to fill gaps when refitting mirror. Rubber sealant doesn't set to sand smooth. 2nd mistake: the only paint i had available was black Metal paint. It bubbled & peeled off the wood. I'm going to start from scratch & make a frame like yourself. Got some good tips from you. I always try to watch UK stuff on CZcams as I just can't learn to sodder. I'm much better soldering. So much easier. Many thanks Tony. 🙏

[@iqlogic]

Black LED strip will be much better. And even better if you bend LED strip in corners instead of joining them with wires

[@SefyZero]

LED strips are not meant to be bent, you can easily ruin the connections

[@ia7mad331]

What do you mean by connections ?

[@MusangLaut2]

@@SefyZero you can bend the copper section it would be fine

[@markf5175]

I have watched at least 25 different videos on this subject and yours is the absolute best - what a marvelous job you did. Thank you for doing this.

Excellent end result. Many that I have seen use a 2 way that is too attenuated. You only get a few inches of illusion. This goes super deep. Great illusion.
