Lighting the room

[alexa.art]

Hace mas de un mes mi hijo se quedo sin luces led en su habitación ya que se dañaron, la cosa es que teníamos pendiente comprar nuevas luces porque sinceramente el cuarto se ve muy lindo con esas luces, a el le encantan y le dan estilo y personalidad. Conseguimos una tienda que vende luces led pero mi suegro insistió en ir el a comprar las luces ya que le quedaba bastante cerca de su trabajo, a pesar de que el es ignorante en el tema de las luces no le vi nada malo ya que le envié las especificaciones en una imagen.

Over a month ago, my son’s LED lights in his room stopped working because they broke. The thing is, we’d been meaning to buy new ones because, honestly, the room looks really nice with those lights—he loves them, and they give it style and personality. We found a store that sells LED lights, but my father-in-law insisted on going to buy them himself since it was pretty close to his work. Even though he doesn’t know much about lights, I didn’t see anything wrong with it since I sent him the specifications in a picture.

La cosa es que cuando abrí las luces no se parecían demasiado a las que compre antes, las luces led parecían mas bien luces de navidad, no tenían cinta adherente en la parte de atrás y eso me desilusiono bastante, lo único que me animo fue ver que se manejaba tanto con control como por app del celular, cosa que nunca he tenido con mis anteriores luces, en fin, me toco improvisar y pegue las luces led nada mas y nada menos que con cinta adhesiva común y corriente, eso si… puse bastante cinta en diferentes direcciones en cada punto para que no se mueva por nada del mundo.

The thing is, when I turned the lights on, they didn't look much like the ones I'd bought before—the LED lights looked more like Christmas lights, and they didn't have adhesive tape on the back, which really disappointed me. The only thing that cheered me up was seeing that they could be controlled both with a remote and via a cell phone app—something I’d never had with my previous lights. Anyway, I had to improvise and attached the LED lights with nothing more and nothing less than plain old adhesive tape. That said… I used plenty of tape in different directions at each point so they wouldn’t budge for anything in the world.

No se nota demasiado la cinta en algunas partes, pero en otras quizás si jaja pero solo si eres muy detallista, a mi hijo le encanto muchísimo como se ve, esta bastante feliz… Solo me preocupa que con el afán de cambiar las luces a cada rato termine dañándolo. Por cierto, estas luces son de 10 metros no pude cubrir todo el cuarto, pero aun asi cubrió un 70% cambia de muchos colores, tiene efectos muy lindos y tambien tiene una opción para ir al ritmo de la música o película que estes viendo.

You can't really tell the tape is there in some spots, but in others you might notice it, haha—though only if you're really picky. My son absolutely loves the way it looks; he's really happy with it… My only worry is that in my eagerness to change the lights all the time, I might end up damaging it. By the way, these lights are 10 meters long—I couldn’t cover the whole room, but they still covered about 70%. They change through many colors, have really pretty effects, and also have an option to sync to the music or movie you’re watching.

A veces los mejores arreglos en casa nacen de la improvisación. ¡Te quedó muy bien, aunque haya sido con mucha cinta

Sometimes the best home fixes are born from improvisation. It turned out great, even if it took a lot of tape

There's nothing as peaceful and heart lifting as coming into your home with that feeling of

"Yes, this is the perfect place for me"
Thank you for adding to your son's joy.
