Amusing backlit house number sign I built.
I hacked up two HUE light strips, one around the perimeter, and the other in the center.
All packaged up in an HOA friendly “box”
Wife loves creating the various “themes”

Very cool street number project and I’m looking forward to the results of your TV lift!
Okay… That’s really, really cool. 
If you did that with a street number sign, I can only imagine what the TV is going to look like…
Most recent video is here: You tube Video…
Static pics are here: Lift archive…
It should be hanging from the garage ceiling with some weight on it this weekend…

Mike, can I see the construction details of this? Looks like you had them shared at one point but now they aren’t there anymore.
How did you wire it in to your house? Did you tap in to one of the existing runs for your external lighting?
these are hue light strips, they have their own controllers, this sign contains two independent strips, each connected to a separate controller.
I meant to provide the power to the lights.
ah, in my case there was an outlet in the garage immediately behind the location I placed the sign.
So I drilled a hole through the exterior wall…
I realize this is a very old post haha but I’m very intrigued by the idea.
I see there is a link in the first post that says “construction details” but there’s nothing there when you click.
Can you give additional info on the box you used and/or any thoughts you might have if you were to build this now?
I’m not very creative but I am pretty handy when there are directions to follow!
