LED Infinity Mirror, 32 LEDs, Selectable Patterns, Quality Frame

Step 4 Inner Walls, LEDs

Ready your hot glue gun.

- Be Careful not to scratch the paint or the LEDs while working.

- Insert an LED from the painted side through the first hole.

- From the back apply a drop of hot glue in the hole and spin the LED around 1 rotation to evenly  apply the glue. Align the LED's flat side towards the front mirror's side. Also, the shortest lead on the LED is the negative lead.

- Continue till all 8 are glued in and all the LED's flat sides (negative) are facing the same direction.

- If you are using multiple colors and are making a pattern ( example: in the images the mirror I am building is Grn-Blu-Grn-Blu-Grn-Blu ect) Ensure that when you place the LEDs when the walls are put up the pattern will be continue. if one wall starts with Blue it will end with green and the next one starts with blue and ends with green and so on.

- Repeat for all 4 inner walls

Soldering:

-All of the LEDs Anode's(long leads) are connected in parallel.

- With a needle nose pliers, grab both the LED leads at the base and fold the Anode ( longest lead) over. If it reaches the next LEDs anode,  repeat the bending on that LED and solder. Continue the rest like that.

- If the lead is not long enough to reach the next LEDs anode.  Fold a pair of LEDs anodes towards each other, then use some solid strand jumper wire to bridge between the pairs. ( The images below show this as my green LEDs have shorter than normal leads. )

- Repeat till all 4 inner walls have their 8 LED's anodes connected in parallel. ( all hooked together) And the cathodes are not connected to anything.
