These backlights do provide a bright cold white light, but that is not cozy and pretty (artsy) so the idea is to replace the white LED's with WS2812 LED's to make the skylight colorful and less bright. | |||

artist impression
In the space there is an old skylight that has been boarded up with a wooden panel and does no longer provide daylight into the space. Besides being a gaping hole in the ceiling it does not look pretty either.
After seeing a youtube video of DIY-perks about re-purposing broken LCD TV's into light panels I got the idea of putting a broken TV in the skylight space to hide the wooden board that there is now and and make it pretty again.
These backlights do provide a bright cold white light, but that is not cozy and pretty (artsy) so the idea is to replace the white LED's with WS2812 LED's to make the skylight colorful and less bright. The Fresnel lens inside the diffuser panels provide a nice effect on top of all this.
notes: The dimensions of the skylight are 70x100cm. A 43" screen is the closest default size that fits nicely inside the skylight space.
For this project I am looking for a broken LCD or LED TV of 43" (108cm) diagonal. Cracks in the screen and/or broken electronics is not a problem. Brand / type does not mattere.
It's ok if it does not look pretty anymore :) (only the size of 43" is important)A 43" broken screen has been acquired.
