Скачать или смотреть D&D Diorama Lighting FINALLY Made Easy! | Dioramo Lighting System Review & Stress Test

Hey everyone! In this video, I'm tackling the final stage of my massive 10-month Dungeons & Dragons diorama build: the lighting design. For years, I've done custom wiring, soldering LEDs, and worrying about resistors—but not this time!

I've partnered with Dioramo to review their full modular lighting system. After dealing with custom components for so long, I wanted to see if an off-the-shelf, plug-and-play solution could handle the complexity of my multi-level diorama, which includes a sewer, an ancient temple, and two above-ground buildings.

Join me as I unbox the system, walk you through the installation process, and share my honest opinions. I'll show you my go-to "light probe method" for achieving perfect light placement without any guessing, and how I built custom styrene brackets to make the Dioramo lights fully adjustable.

The real test came when I needed to power my own custom-built light features (like the flickering candle and the levitating orb). I'll show you exactly how I integrated the Dioramo power hubs and modules to run my homemade lights, proving the system is incredibly flexible.

I put this system through a serious durability stress test because, as fellow scale modelers know, components need to be rock solid to survive months of construction and handling.

I’ll also share the one big difference I had to adapt to when switching from custom wiring to this system (hint: it's all about managing those connectors!).

Overall, I was seriously impressed with the quality and ease of use. If you've been putting off lighting your scale model, miniature scene, or D&D diorama, you need to watch this!
