Hey guys,

Just finished this tree of life plasma project. Since I was hanging it in a poorly lit corner, I went ahead and bought a $17 stick on led strip from amazon...and boy does it make the project pop. Very short video here:

Here's some pics that will give you the gist of how this turned out without watching the video. The LED strip has double sided tape and is mounted to the back of the steel. The LED has various modes, but I have it set to color changing right now.

Yes...I will do a better job of hiding that cord soon. I have to get a USB cord extension...as that's what the LED's use for a power....

Also...for scale this is 28-inches in diameter.
