Ambilight LED Holder

A Simple Ambilight LED Holder Solution I needed to create a DIY ambilight/bias lighting setup without cutting or using adhesive strips. This design meets those requirements for WS2811 strip with 5050 SMD LEDs. If WS2812/WS2812B have the same dimensions, this design should work for them as well. This project is perfect if: - You don't want to cut anything. - You don't want to solder anything. - You need a better light beam spread compared to direct mounting on the back of the panel. There are two versions with two variations each: - IP20 (no coating, very thin LED strip) : 45 degree angle + flat - IP30 (LEDs covered in epoxy) : 45 degree angle + flat The holders slide through the end of the LED strip. If your wire has a power cable connected to the front, start sliding the holders through the end of the LED strip. Double-sided tape holds the pieces on the display. For corners, let the LEDs bend naturally. Avoid sharp angles to prevent damaging the LEDs, especially thin IP20 strips. Some back panels already have a curve; for that, I included a flat version of the holder. My Samsung TV has a flat top and bottom with curved sides.
