Hey folks! Since this video is taking off a few years down the road, I just wanted to drop a message. Thank you so so much for all your kind words. I'm speechless. This channel has always been something I've done time-permitting and evolved between different subjects. Most of all I'm really passionate about design projects. Interiors, products, anything thoughtful created. So in the next few months, stay tuned for more videos. I'm starting a blog and newsletter on lunationlab.com. I'm moving soon and will have a whole office space ready for projects. Exciting stuff! Talk soon. -Jackson
Wow I absolutely love your video! Thank you so much. I am about to move to a new apartment and I’m super excited now! Greetings from Austria :)
where's the video about the three ingredients meal??
test
you should make a video about how you did the lighting in your bedroom in your opening shot! That looks amazing and I would love to see how you did that!
i like how you make all the lights match your moustache
lmao :D
soft and warm?
absolutely came in clutch with showing the color cord company. that's gonna help with quite a few projects coming up!
Thank you! I always make sure to coordinate my outfit and accessories with my moustache, it adds an element of fun to my look.
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment. I take pride in coordinating my outfit and accessories to create a cohesive look. It's all about attention to detail and creating a stylish appearance.
Thank you so much! I always try to coordinate my look, including my moustache, with the lights around me for a cohesive and stylish aesthetic. It's all about attention to detail and creating a harmonious visual effect.

Quick tip to avoid the splitting of the wood. Drill pilot holes in the wood before using the wood screws. Pilot holes are drilled with drill bits that are typically the diameter of the screw minus the threads. Seems like more steps but it goes quick. And since the base board was mdf you only need the pilot holes in the wood.
Thanks for the tip! I do have small drill bits I could have done that with. You're totally right.
Came here to say the same thing ... a year late :) also get a countersink bit. I love my countersunk screws. So smooth--significant upgrade in how my projects feel
So _that's_ why I'm meant to drill pilot holes, TIL
That's great to hear! It's all about adding your personal touch to your style. Have fun experimenting with different looks and keep rocking that coordinated outfit and accessories with your moustache!
You're welcome! I believe that putting effort into my outfit and accessories not only reflects my personal style, but also shows respect for those I interact with. Looking put-together is important to me, and I'm glad you noticed.
It’s important to note that as length increases, voltage will drop and the tape will start to progressively dim… it’s a good idea to test first and find that diminishing point so you know where to start a new strip to minimize the effect of the voltage drop. In some applications, with the use of a 2>1 cable, you can split the power and send it to both sides of the strip. This varies based on if you’re using a dimmer ahead of the tape or not
Haven’t even gotten through the video yet but I just wanted to say thank you for having a voiceover for the text on screen, that goes along way to making me follow your content and be able to know what’s going on so props to you for that! Fantastic integration of accessibility :-)
Bro the whole video, the aesthetics, the videography, the content *chef’s kiss*
the algo has picked you up, great vid! love how it came out
dude i genuinely can’t believe this channel only has 5k subs from an amazing video from 2 years ago. this is such a peculiar but insanely formal, and entertaining video. The editing, the camera quality, the lighting (ironic, in a video studying aesthetic lighting lol) it’s all so tasteful!!! thank you so much for sharing this when you did. always know that just cuz a video didn’t blow up right away, it also isn’t voided from blowing up and being seen in the future. so always create. always share. keep doing. the payoff is undeniably worth it in the end. thank you.
You are what diffused lighting would look like if it's a person.
Great video! It looks great.
A few notes from someone who has done a lottt of LED lighting:
(1) 24 V is almost always better than 12 V so you can use longer strands without becoming dim at the end
(2) Get high-CRI lights, otherwise the color of people and other things in the room will be off, usually quite significantly
(3) Get variable color temperature lights so you can vary them based on time of day and improve your circadian rhythm
(4) Get a zigbee (or WLED) controller so you can integrate with your smart home (Home Assistant is the best!)
Love me some high CRI strips. But do you think they sell bi-colour strips for these?
Or do you run 2 strips of LED's of different colour temperature?
Absolutely love the format of this. Straight to the point while staying classy and ADHD friendly.
Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate the encouragement and will definitely continue putting effort into my style. It's fun to experiment and express myself through fashion. Your support means a lot to me!
Thank you for the encouragement! I agree, fashion is all about expressing yourself and having fun. I will definitely continue to rock my moustache with confidence and experiment with different styles. Keep on shining!
Never thought Ill be getting interior design advice from Ray Gillette :O Awesome
Your channel is super under rated , the editing and cinematography is amazing! Keep up the good work
Thank you for being as detailed . . makes all the difference between actually accomplishing it and getting merely halfway done.
How the hell do you not have soooo many more subscribers? Magnificent video, perfectly executed and so high quality. Love your calm tone of voice. And you still deliver excitement for the topic. Absolutely awesome!
Thought the same!
Thought that too da hell?
Right? The video is as if it was made by a channel as big as Architectural Digest
Thank you for the compliment! It's always nice to receive positive feedback on my style choices. I believe that taking the time to put together a well thought out outfit shows that I care about how I present myself to others. I'm glad that my efforts are appreciated.
I'm grateful for your positive feedback on my style. It motivates me to keep exploring and sharing my personal fashion sense. Thank you for your encouragement and support along the way!
50 seconds in and already hit the like button, thanks for keeping this video up, I'm trying to light my apartment. Bought some string lights and realized it just didn't look as intentional and cohesive as I'd hoped. I'm well past the "dorm room" stage of things and I needed a more coordinated solution. THANK YOU!
THANK YOU for explaining everything super clearly and adding the amazing graphics.
i'm torn because i love this bespoke homemade approach to lighting, but at the same time i feel like those diodes are super visible just standing near the fixture. would have loved to see the incorporation of a diffuser like you showed in the beginning of the video to reduce glare!
videos like yours is the reason why youtube is a treasure trove. I have no doubt your channel will grow big. Many thanks from Asia
Thank you for showing a renter friendly solution!
That was really well done. I was looking for a solution to do mostly down lighting in baseboards, but this has me realizing that so long as it is diffuse lighting it pretty much always looks great.
You explained everything about the process in so much detail. Thank you
So easy, such a nice look! Woaw 👌🏻
That’s a great idea! I will reproduce it for my living room. Thanks!
You can also get RGBCCT or RGBWW strips, which have dedicated white leds.
This is a great idea and I may figure out a way to do this is my next renovation. Good job !
This video is great. Dracula is the best person for design a room lighting.
Your channel is so cool! Totally binging all the videos now.
Awesome video - easy to follow and understand. Keep it up!
one major issue i see with this design is that you will see the pixel tape from above. professional lighting designers go to great lengths to hide the tape from all viewing angles. i would suggust placing the tape on the side of the molding, and putting a strip of wood above it to hide the tape. then paint everything white on the interior to maximize the amount of light pushed out.
those self taper screws are made to dig not to drill. if you want to fasten anything with it, drill a hole in the material you want to attach so the screws only dig into the base material
Great vid, was just thinking abt something like this and you explained it nicely
Such an amazing video . . Not just the content but the technical aspects of the video are top-notch. Great job . . Hope you grow your channel.
Really nice work!
nice. tat would also make a cool lighted picture frame.
This is awesome!
fantastic quality video
Indeed, it's a good, informative video I was looking for. I'm surprised it has so few likes. Thank you!
I might do this like, this week, with an Ikea shelf that's currently just my media console. I could literally clean it up, stick the strip to the back and be done
This is incredible! Liked and subscribed
This is such a good video. /Thank you!
Well explained!
Looks so pretty
If the color beige was a human being, you'd be that :)
Loved the video!
Only took me a minute or two to realise he wasnt talking about Roger Deakins' cove lighting...
Incredible video
What a nice channel, and your vids are also really captive and nice to watch
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Love your channel!
Thank you!
Neat idea and solution to a common renter dilemma.
I wonder how much your build collects dust and pet hair over time, and if it might be a good idea to put a diffusing plastic cover over the strip to make it easier to vacuum, and prevent hair from getting stuck on a diode.
This is amazing. I think I just found my new favorite youtuber
Can’t wait for the masterclass!
"Jackson Casimiro teaches overthinking."
I need to do this ASAP
You should still use shrink tubing over the little screw in barrel connectors.
To avoid splitting wood in the future, I heard it was a good idea to drill a pilot hole. Very nice video !
The indirect lighting helps smoothen those eye bags that’s for sure
We moved out of the hood to a condo and the upstairs bedrooms don't have ceiling lights.
You'd think I'd be bummed but id take no ceiling lights over being in our old neighborhood anyway and it gives me the perfect opp to set up a rwnter friendly indirect led lighting
i think some warmer light like 2700k would have fitted better but it still looks awsome
2 Things to consider:
1. It will collect house dust. Solution is to have a clear or frosted plastic strip run along the top.
2. If you get an RGB + Bi Colour Warm & Cool White LED strip, you can make the strip go through all the sunlight colour spectrum. From peak bluish daylight, to sunset red. This way you can match the outside light and preserve natural circadian rhythms. (FYI blue light is actually good, just at the right time (middle of the day). Blue light is only bad once the sun has gone down.)
INFORMATIONAL
gorgeous
Awesome reveal wow great work, hope to e able to do this soon lighting is so important to my damn quality of life. And great video production too, super cheap all things considered
Love the design, and the design in the video. Handsome guy as well.
Can't say I disagree.
Very good video
Thank you!
good video! Im sure you know by now, but if you drill the correct sized pilot hole before using screws, you wont split the wood as easily
beautiful job jxn🥰
Thank you! 🤗
Great video! Kudos for the Marin, I have a 2021 Muirwoods! Cheers!
Thanks! The only bike I've owned that my fiancée likes the look in our living room.
You just need to drill a pilot hole before screwing or use drywall screws instead
Nice look. Try hightemp hot glue or cyanoacrylate glue and/or predrilling for the screws.
I think some soft RGB usage would look really nice in this build to be honest.
Put it on a zigbee controller and Home assistant can help you make it adaptable and automated.
awesome
You should drill pilot holes for screws in delicate wood in the future
How would you do this for a place with existing baseboards?
welcome back to youtube ♥️
I guess we'll never know
Honestly, inverting this and mounting it in the ceiling I think would look so much cooler. Don’t get me wrong, it does looks cool. But I think mounting this in the ceiling can make it look like a proper built-in recessed lighting
You're welcome! I appreciate your kind words and am thrilled that my style resonates with you. Your support means the world to me, and I'm excited to continue showcasing my unique fashion perspective. Thank you for being a wonderful source of inspiration and encouragement!
heres a tip too. Get the neon LED lights (search them like this). They have a solid color and automatically look nicer and brighter than the regular leds
😍😍😍
Just a heads up, if the power supply is sending dc, you may end up with low voltage/flickering leds if your wire is too long. Dc is like throwing a baseball.
Amazing video. The dimmer has been the solution to all my problems but unfortunately the link is no longer working and an Amazon search has not returned a working substitute just yet. I found outlet dimmers, but not specifically ones for string lights. Maybe further searching will do. :)
Cool video! Where’s that little mesh gym console from that your to stands on?
i dont even need this, the video is just pretty and nice to look at
this looks sick and it's surprisingly cheaper than I thought
You can also skip the dimmer, wiring, and barrel connectors, making it only $61.
I am curious - is the floorboard flush with the wall? How would you go about doing this for the ceiling?
What do you recommend we do if we already have baseboards?
Hey can I ask, are you doing your own editing on these videos or do you contract that out? I love the cuts, graphics, and effects and would love to hire whoever is helping you if you’re not doing this yourself.
Wondering if Velcro is an option for attaching a baseboard to a wall?
My goodness! You're gorgeous.
what kind of paper you use to diffuse
give me some alternatives
Trying to add brighter lighting to my room... Are these LED light strips actually bright enough to make a difference? Or are they just "a cool effect"?
Just a question:
You now have a gap which will collect dust and you can actually see the light from above right ? Or am I missing something ?
Thanks if you reply
My problem with things like this is the depth. I love the idea, but 2in baseboards are a huge no-go for me, especially since I already have .75in baseboards in my place with 1in quarter-round. I need a solution that minimizes the depth so that 1) it is easier to install without having to move everything in my apartment and 2) it looks better. It'd also be nice to be capped so that dust and debris can't get down in the cavity.
Echoing what everyone said already: Nice build, you’ve got a super soothing voice and vibe, clean editing look - definitely checking out more videos and subscribing! // I am curious: How is this to clean, since the baseboard doesn’t sit flush with the wall? Do you just vacuum with an extension behind the board?
Thank you very much. I'm still here and planning on getting back into it! I adding a couple photos to answer your question in the article: lunation.cc/m3w
What lamps are those in the background?
mate, pilot holes! always.
any video on how to hide the wires for those lights for the frames behind you?
the chain llol
if you pre drill the holes for the screws you wont have that problem :)
Whaat?? Absolutely high level editing!!! How did you do those section split and wiring schemes?
Thank you! All custom in After Effects.

Nice project, I appreciate your perspective on the topic of indirect lighting with inexpensive methods. But I saw too many rookie mistakes with the LED tape. You bought tape that's overmolded for water resistance, which is unnecessary indoors and more expensive. You also should use 24V tape and PSU if you have longer strips, especially if you extend on the low voltage side. If you wanna spend just a little, more you can buy LED COB strips, which are a true generational improvement over the (still cheaper) individual LEDs on the strip. Also, a CCT variant has two different color temperatures and lets you choose anything in between with a suiting dimmer. Lastly, you showed the extension being screwed down with bare strands, this is not great. Soldering is the cleaner solution if you get the barrel connectors on a piece of wire.
