How to build a very smart and low cost geometric lighting system. This video is sponsored by PCBway. 👇 More info below 👇

Meet Geoleaf, my low cost and 3D printable version of Nanoleaf lighting panels. They can be arranged in any pattern to suit any space and thanks to the low cost of only around £3.40 a panel it won’t break the bank. They have built in Wifi control which is driven by the feature rich WLED firmware running on a Wemos D1 Mini.

I’ll show you step by step how to make your own.
