PARTS USED: \r
Cold white LED strips (about 15m): \r
Arduino Nano: \r
Voltage step down: \r
A lamp stand \r
Mosfet and potentiometer \r
Black spraypaint for vanity ;)\r

I needed better lighting for my filming and project work. 15 meters of LED and an adjustable tripod makes for a great starting point. The end result of the work light was truly worth the money. Since its a DIY, I wanted to show you how to do it, and how a LED lamp can be built inexpensively and efficiently. This photography light is dimmable, and made using arduino, mosfets, a voltage step down, and potentiometer! If youre not too comfortable with electronics, and just want a cheap lamp for photography, you can just skip the dimming part. \r

The most important part is the smooth, white lighting that the LEDs will provide. For a better result I would definitly recommend going for some more expensive LEd-strips which provide a higher CRI and hence a better and more natural light will emit from the LED panel. If the lighting is too bright for your photography and you dont have a dimmer, you can use aluminium foil around some cardboard to create a reflector! Be creative! \r
