Did you know that normal LED bulbs can burn out quickly - more quickly than incandescents - when connected to dimmer switches or old wiring? I sure didn't, until all the expensive LEDs in my living room sputtered out!

A few strips of LED lights can do a lot to lighten up a room, and YouTuber Darbin Orvar shows off a project that mounts a set of LED-lit cube shelves onto a wall.

Making an internet-connected clock is a lot harder than you'd think, but over on DIY Engineering, you'll find a three-part guide to build one for yourself.

Video: Now that LED strips exist, it's super easy to make your own lighting. Case in point, YouTuber Darbin Orvar shows off her light cube packed between a couple of slabs of concrete.

Push button LED puck lights are pretty boring on their own. Take it apart and solder in a UV bulb for a DIY blacklight.

Video: Professional lighting for photo studios can cost a pretty penny, but if you're just starting out, you don't have to drop that much cash (if you even have it to start with). In this video, photographer Joe Edelman shows you how to build an all LED setup on a budget that performs as well as pricier gear.
