Transform your Van Ceiling with Wooden Slats and LED Lighting

Episode 6 is all about finishing the ceiling of the van and trying something a bit different to just fitting spotlights. Brothers Make have opted for a feature shadow gap ceiling with LED strips running the length of the van, watch as they design, prep and fit the slatted ceiling with room for flexy lighting strips. This method gives a great result for warm ambient lighting in your van!

I didn't know mustard could be used to glue thin plywood, you learn something new every day.
And at 6m12s, you can see a monochrome watermelon ceiling!

You know you can get black diffuser covers too, right? So that when they are off, it just looks black.
