Table with LED lighting.

Feature of the table

Externally, the table is not much different from any ordinary one. coffee table. However, as soon as you turn on the backlight, the tabletop of the product begins to flicker and glow with hundreds of lights, creating the illusion of infinity. I want to admire such magic all the time, but those who are indifferent to unusual table will not be found either among adults or among children.

Coffee table with lighting it looks especially impressive when the lights are off in the evening.

The infinity effect is achieved thanks to the special design of the tabletop - its box consists of two mirrors, and a diode strip is installed on the sides. In this case, a translucent mirror is selected for the top cover so that the light pattern is more noticeable and pronounced.

The design of the product is shown in more detail in the photo below:

You can turn on the product using remote control or a special switch on the box.

To illuminate the tabletop, you can choose diodes of any desired shade or combine several colors. But experts especially recommend taking a closer look at red diodes - due to their slight dispersion endless tunnel gains more depth.

This unusual piece of furniture is perfect for both home use, and for placement in the office. It can be made in absolutely any size and from any materials.

Materials and tools

You can make an exclusive piece of furniture with your own hands. To do this, prepare necessary materials, tools and follow the step-by-step instructions.

To make a table you will need:

boards for the frame (wood or particle board);
mirror according to tabletop parameters;
translucent mirror. The dimensions should be 10 cm larger than the bottom mirror;
self-adhesive diode tape, length depending on the size of the table, but not less than 1.5 m;
materials for connecting the tape: controller, programmer, wires, power supply with USB;
consumables: sandpaper, glue, screws, metal corners.

Instead of a translucent mirror for the top cover, you can use ordinary glass and cover it with tint film yourself.

Idea: to reduce work in any furniture store you can purchase the simplest table in design and use it as a ready-made base.

Why choose LEDs:

They give a rich, beautiful, deep shade.
Longer service life without burnout (the number of on/off switches does not affect the service life).
No heating.
High efficiency.
Various colors.
Reasonable price.
Light bulb safety.

Assembly

Before assembly, it is necessary to develop a drawing of the table, calculate the distance between the mirrors, the number of diodes, and think about the location of the electrical elements.

To get an idea of what the twinkling lights will look like in finished product, just place any light source between the bottom and top of the table and look at the result.

Regarding the distance between the mirrors, everything is individual and depends on your wishes. But often the average value is chosen - 8 cm. To calculate the depth of infinity, the distance between the covers must be multiplied by 16. Also keep in mind that the depth of the tunnel will depend on the light transmittance of the top cover. After all the calculations, you can proceed directly to assembly.

Step-by-step instructions for making a table with an infinity effect with your own hands - making the base:

From bars with a cross section of 5*5 cm and metal corners you need to make the frame of the future table. For fastening, use screws and a screwdriver.
With help sandpaper Carefully process all edges and corners to make them smooth and remove burrs.
Drill holes for electrical elements using a drill, follow the drawing. The holes need to be sanded tighter.
For additional fastening of the structure, you can treat the joints with glue. After this, the frame must dry for at least 24 hours.

Frame assembly.

Assembling the tabletop step by step:

To a sheet of plywood the right size attach boards (section 5*1 cm) along the outer perimeter, and at a distance of 5-6 cm along the inner perimeter. There should be a kind of gutter between the boards - this is where the wiring and electrical elements(see photo above).
Place a mirror on the bottom of the tabletop with the reflective side facing up.
TO inside smaller frame needs to be attached LED strip using double-sided tape.
Wiring is installed in the space between the frames.
Attach the top mirror cover to the tabletop.
The entire structure is held together with screws.

Assembling the tabletop.

At the end of all the work, you should end up with something like this table with a mirror surface:

Finished product with the backlight turned off.

However, it is worth understanding that you can make a table with an infinity effect from any material that you know how to handle - for example, plexiglass, plastic, metal.

When working with mirrors and glass protective film remove only after all processes are completed.
Be sure to thoroughly study the diode connection diagram to avoid short circuit, or even worse - fire.
For fastening, use moisture-resistant glue.
In the event of a breakdown of electronic parts, it will be convenient to have free access to them, so it is better to place the controller and programmer not inside the table, but outside - placing it in a neat box and securing it under the tabletop.

The desire to create an excellent interior and saturate your life bright colors inherent not only to young entrepreneurs, but also ordinary people who want to make their lives happier. But with your own hands you can even make such an interesting piece of furniture as a table shimmering with lights.

Kinds

Illuminated tables can be the most different types and appointments.

Dressing tables with lighting around the mirror. The light bulbs are located around the mirror frame. Lamps should only be white. Multi-colored lamps are not permitted.
With lighting, but without a mirror. Lighting is a design element and does not have any technical role. As a rule, it is presented in the form of an LED strip. IN different options the tape can be located in different places. It gives a contrasting, perhaps even “futuristic” shade, and suits many interiors.

Structurally, tables are:

A table with no internal storage. Not highly recommended, but if there is no need, you can consider this option. There are, of course, tables in the form of a triangle, a circle and other shapes.
Table with cabinet. This modification allows you to store cosmetics and a variety of various instruments for care. The number of cabinets does not vary much: one or two. Has a hanging compartment and a stand with drawers. The pull-out drawer is definitely handy when working with makeup or hair. According to people's experience, it is considered to be very convenient for storage. cosmetics, body care products and other similar products.

Table with drawers. Almost the most popular table model. Looks good, takes up little space. Subtypes: suspended, attached and corner tables. Do not forget that there is very original solutions, which are not available in all stores.

How to choose?

Price, like quality, is one of the most key issues, so before making a purchase, you need to carefully familiarize yourself with the market and study brands. Purchases can only be made in trusted places. You need to avoid dubious market outlets and dubious resources on the Internet. Special attention it is necessary to pay attention to compliance with GOST. Many dishonest manufacturers or craftsmen may use recycled or even hazardous materials. Sometimes it is better to pay a third more, but at the same time gain several times in quality. The saying “the miser pays twice” does not lose its relevance here.

The material from which the table is made should also match the setting.

Be careful with things that are too heavy, but at the same time small-sized furniture if there are children or animals at home.

Where to buy?

Despite the external originality of this furniture product, acquiring such a miracle is quite simple.

The simplest, and probably the most obvious option is a furniture store.

Often these neon tables are part of a set and create the overall design for the room, but you can also find examples that live on their own. It is important that such a table is not only easy to use and fits the dimensions, but also becomes an integral part of the interior.

The second option is a specialized cosmetic store.

The advantage of this choice is that the table options offered in them are very practical. This is not just an interior decoration. This is an item that is designed to last for a long time. As a rule, it has LED backlighting.

The third option is, in principle, obvious, like the two previous paths. Like all products in the world, the table has not escaped the “showcases” of online stores.

Before purchasing a table, be sure to read reviews on forums or interview friends who have experience with such tables. It is noteworthy that such tables are not such a popular type of furniture, so it is better to use a search engine to look at the websites of stores near you in advance.

As a rule, serious stores have their own managers or sales consultants who are responsible for advising potential buyers over the phone. Perhaps this approach will save a lot of time and reduce shopping trips to a couple of times.

How to do it yourself?

In fact, you can make such a table yourself, at home. This does not require deep technical knowledge or special ingenuity. To do this, you will need sheets of wood or plywood, an LED strip, a special microcircuit, wires, and a round mirror.

In addition to this, you will need glue (possibly several types), paint and screws.

The work starts with the most basic. Cut out two round rims required diameter(usually 45-100 cm). The mirror is selected with the appropriate diameter.

Of course, the tabletop can have not only the shape of a circle; accordingly, the shape of the cut-out tabletop and mirror can be chosen at your discretion.

We place a mirror between the two rims and carefully outline the mirror with LED strip. Next, a hole is made to pass the wire through. We attach the microcircuit to the bottom of the tabletop and screw on the legs.

After the baby is ready, you can cover the legs and edges with varnish or special paint.

If you still have difficulties with manufacturing, you can contact a carpenter you know. For a carpenter this will not be difficult, since this is a daily task for him, and in half an hour he will have done what would have taken several hours or even days. Such a person is likely to be well versed in painting and adhesive materials. Most likely has experience in other industrial or construction fields, has a “full hand”.

You will have to look for diode tape, plywood, electrical filling and other elements of the product yourself.

Again, there's nothing wrong with this. Plywood and wood sheets can be found at a hardware store, glue with coloring varnish can be found there. Diode strip is also sold at hardware stores. Small parts can be ordered online, perhaps even at better prices.

Don't limit yourself to templates. It is worth thinking carefully about creating a table; perhaps you will want to make an original stained glass window. The variety of stained glass tables is huge. For example, you can make a 3D table. This solution is also called the infinity effect. To do this you will need several neon ribbons and several mirrors. Due to the reflection of light, the surface acquires a three-dimensional image. There are many photos of colored tables on the Internet. You can look at the websites of furniture stores or ready-made design solutions. An interior designed by a professional designer who has posted his work online can become the basis for an idea when creating your own table.

When working with diode strip, you must be extremely careful. Hands must be dry and feet must be wearing rubber slippers.

In fact, it is possible that self-production will be the cheapest and in a fast way. Another advantage is that you can choose the interior yourself.

And if you like it, you can open a store of such tables yourself. This table can be a great gift.

I decided to make my own coffee table with LED lighting, the decoration of which resembles infinity. For a long time After the renovation, something was missing in the room, everything seemed to be in place, but still something was wrong. I accidentally came across a photo of such a table on the Internet and realized exactly what I wanted. I went shopping and couldn’t find it, so I decided to make it myself. Such a table will add creativity, modernity to the room and attract more than one curious glance.

Let me lift the veil, the secret of this infinity is the use of LED backlighting, the color range of which can be varied. This tape is installed in the middle between the reflective coatings. Basically, a mirror is used (for this purpose they take one translucent one, the other a regular one), thanks to this, the radiation from the backlight is clearly visible to everyone.

To make such a coffee table with LED lighting with your own hands we will need:
- wooden boards or MDF;
- glass or translucent mirror and an ordinary mirror;
- LED Strip Light;
- screws and screwdriver.

The first thing we will do is a drawing of the future table, taking into account all dimensions. Then, following our calculations, we make blanks from MDF sheets (or boards) and mirrors.

Next we make three templates with internal space. We make the blank where we plan to mount the LED strip with an internal diameter one centimeter larger (when making a table from chipboard). We glue all three blanks together, and at the same time insert a mirror at the bottom. We smooth out all the corners and sides, being very meticulous about this.

So that we have the opportunity to somehow get to the tape, in the event of a breakdown, we install the table cover so that it can be removed.

We now cover our entire structure with a translucent mirror.

We make the legs for the table with a wide cross-section and small round holes right through, since it is through them that we will route the wires.

It turned out very interesting and beautiful.

This is how you can decorate doors and much more in the house. A DIY coffee table with LED lighting will be just the beginning of your experiments.
