How to do LED strip ligts or Neon glow effect

Post by piregwan »

Hi,

I discovered Sweet Home 3D and that was amazing and fun :

I tried to create 5-8m LED strips but that was a pain
I did not find neon glow light also just like this :

Is there a way to do such things ?

Thank you !

More simply, maybe you could use light panels found in LightShapes.sh3f library, but you will get a glowing effect only when light is close to a surface.

I’ve been experimenting with LED strip lighting in room designs too. For longer strips, it seems easier to build them in smaller sections rather than trying to create one long light source. The light panel approach looks useful for getting a softer glow without making the individual LEDs too obvious.
