DIY LED Tape Lighting Vs Professional Design | Know What You’re Buying
Chip Tollefson • May 14, 2021
You just installed a great A/V system, but the room still feels boring.
You have two choices. Go online for a DIY installation or spend a little extra time and money to complete your room with a professional.
Here’s what to expect with a DIY project.
Pros
- Cheap and fast
- You get to do it yourself/your touch
Cons
- Weekend wasted trying to recreate a Pinterest post
- Exposed LED strips, unwanted color change
- Friends ask, “oh did you do this yourself?” 😒 or, “Did your son do this?’ because it looks like you did.
Here’s what to expect with a professional design
Pros
- No exposed strips, just the glow, like you wanted.
- Experienced Techs, professional results that require no disclaimers or excuses.
- Drink beer while admiring a quality installation instead of driving back to the store 3 times for more parts that you forgot, swearing at your wife, and falling off of the ladder.
Cons
- Cost
