Congrats. You just finished your DIY Copper Style LED Painting Illuminator. The only thing, there is left to do is to mount it on a wall and light it. The wall, I mounted it on was a wooden wall, so I could just screw it into the wall.

One question. How many volts did you use to power this?

It looks like 12v... it said that somewhere... You can use a number of voltages... according to the resister you use.

It's hard to tell how much it cost me to make it, because the price of the materials varies a lot depending on where you buy them, and I already had some of the parts.

The LEDs that I used has a cost of 11.49$ for a pack of ten (they're cheaper if you buy them in larger quantities)

The auto turn-on switch cost around 10$ to make in parts (not shure, since I already had most of the parts)

Resistors 1.5$

I don't know the price for the rest of the parts, since they were purchased a while ago, but they aren't overly expensive.
