**Project:** Creating fake windows with natural-looking light for a windowless basement bedroom
**Goal:** Bring in a sense of natural light to alleviate the room's dark and cave-like feel
**Steps:**
1. **Planning:** Identified a non-load-bearing wall for installation
2. **Construction:**
* Cut holes in the wall
* Added supports and conduit for electrical safety
* Built casings for 2x4 ft LED light panels
3. **Design:**
* Added window treatments (lattice work) for a realistic look
* Utilized half-lap joints for the lattice structure
4. **Electrical:**
* Used a temporary IoT switch for dimming (awaiting a custom 0-10V dimmer solution)
5. **Installation:**
* Mounted the light panel boxes in the wall
* Added trim for a finished look
**Outcome:** The project's completion transformed the room's ambiance, making it feel less like a cave and more inviting, with the fake windows providing a convincing illusion of natural light.
Here are the extracted key facts, each with a number and in short sentences, excluding opinions:
1. **Project Location**: The project takes place in a basement room at Josh's house.
2. **Room Description**: The room is the creator's oldest son's room, lacking natural light.
3. **Project Goal**: To create fake windows with natural-looking light in the room.
4. **Wall Type**: The wall where the project is executed is non-load-bearing.
5. **Materials Used**:
* 2x4 flat panel light boxes
* 3/4 inch material for the window casing
* LED light panels (2ft x 4ft)
6. **Electrical Setup**:
* Conduit added for safety to protect wires
* IoT switch for controlling the dimmable light
* Special dimmer required (0 to 10 volts) for the LED panels
7. **Light Panel Specifications**:
* 2ft x 4ft in size
* LED type
* Very light and thin
* Has AC in, dimmer controls, and color temperature/brightness selectors
8. **Window Treatment**: Adding a lattice-like structure for a window effect.
9. **Construction Process**:
* Measuring and cutting holes in the wall
* Building a casing for the light panels
* Using half lap joints for the lattice structure
* Caulking, painting, and adding trim to finish
10. **Final Installation**:
* Boxes installed in the wall
* Secured with screws to keep level with drywall
* Trim added around the outside
11. **Smart Feature Aspirations**:
* Originally intended to work on a schedule with sun up/down
* Required a unique piece with 110V input/output and 0-10V dimmer output
