How to add LED lights to hollow sculptures?

1. Design lighting location

The first step in incorporating LED lighting is to determine the location of the light source within the hollow stainless steel structure. The hollow section of the stainless steel ‘Constellations’ stars sculpture provides an ideal space for placing LED light strips, wires, or individual LED nodes. Depending on the design of the stainless steel ‘Constellations’ stars sculpture, lighting can be embedded in the hollow space behind the perforations or cut-out sections to create the illusion of stars shining through the metal. Alternatively, small LED lights can be placed at strategic points on the surface, highlighting specific areas of the design, such as the edges of the stars or certain perforation clusters that mimic constellations.

2. Choose the right type of LED lighting

The type of LED lighting used is critical to achieving the desired effect. RGB LED strips or white LED strips with adjustable brightness can be embedded in the stainless steel ‘Constellations’ stars sculpture, providing a range of lighting options from soft glow to vivid highlights. Fiber optic LEDs can also be used in certain sections, especially when light needs to be directed through smaller holes or in complex patterns, imitating the twinkle of distant stars. Additionally, spotlight LEDs or micro LED fixtures can be incorporated at specific focal points to enhance certain areas of the stainless steel ‘Constellations’ stars sculpture, giving it depth and dimension. The color temperature of the LED should also be considered: cool white light is generally best suited to replicate the cool, distant light of the stars.
