Description

False beams with built-in LED spotlights. Consisting of four elements with two spotlights in each. These are then hung two by two with a bracket in the middle to conceal the seam.

How did you make the beams?

After careful research into where I could make my custom panels If I could have it sawn with sloping and right-angled edges, I came to OPMAATZAGEN.nl. Now I could start my work project without any problems. To prepare the beams, I laid the panels flat, right-angled sides together, and temporarily secured them together with paper tape. Then turned the panels over and glued the right-angled sloping sides. By using the tape I can easily put the panels together after gluing. After the glue had hardened, I cut out the holes for my LED spotlights and provided a finishing layer with silver. Since I used MDF Black V313, it was not necessary to provide an extra first layer. After sanding the silver layer I achieved a result that should look like metal. The two large beams consist of two parts that I attached to the provided blocks on the ceiling. I subsequently finished the opening between the two parts with a bracket. Ultimately it will look like one full beam. All wiring to connect the spotlights has been placed in the beams themselves. You can see the results in the photos.
