WS2801 IP68 LED Holder (Lightberry TV ambient light)

**UPDATE Aug 12th, 2018/Final Note:** We've just endured a string of scorching days and nights over the past couple of weeks, yet all our LEDs remain securely in place. The design is functioning precisely as intended - objective achieved, project complete. **UPDATE Jun 25th, 2018:** Our LEDs are still firmly in position, with nothing having shifted whatsoever - I'd say it's a resounding success. **Original Information:** If you're the proud owner of a Lightberry (aftermarket TV ambient light solution) featuring WS2801 LEDs packaged in bulky IP68 water-resistant transparent silicone, this project might be right up your alley. While the Lightberry system is indeed quite impressive, I've always been put off by how over time - especially during the sweltering heat of summer - the glue on the velcro attached to the LEDs would become increasingly gooey until they inevitably fell off. I've tried replacing the glue and even swapping out the velcro for a fresh set, but neither approach proved effective. So I devised a plan to design small holders that could physically secure the velcro to the LEDs, thereby reducing the likelihood of them becoming dislodged due to aged glue. I decided to give it a shot and so far, things are looking promising. Whether this solution will stand the test of time remains to be seen. If you decide to utilize these holders, please don't hesitate to share your experiences with me!
