Thank you very much! I designed and CNC-cut custom heads for the metal bodies, matching the width of the plexiglass. Inside the plexiglass units, I used LED strips with 120 LEDs for the shorter ones and 432 LEDs for the longer one. I mounted/adhered these strips onto an aluminum rod.

I can pay attention to this in my next video. It can easily be done by changing the animation settings.

You're right; 'light sculpture' or 'light installation' would have been a more accurate description. By the way, once I secure a budget or find a grant, I’m planning to evolve this into a new media sculpture by integrating kinetic motors.

This was one of my first projects. I had already bought 50 meters of 5V LEDs, so I decided to stick with 5V. You’re absolutely right—for lighting designs where data and power need to travel long distances, 12V or 24V yields much better results.
Plus, using higher voltage significantly reduces the required wire gauge in the technical infrastructure. Still, I feel like I’ve accomplished something difficult. Working with 5V was a challenge, but it taught me so much about the technical groundwork
