Plastic casing are usually not very strong, they become loose if not secured properly. therefore I decided to glue the L shaped connectors with the Casing to ensure they are secured nicely and don't get loose.

I think that's enough, so if you agree even to some points in my list I would suggest you read on and I assure you wont be disappointed :)

Thank you for your time to read this ible. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I did while making it. Please do share your thoughts, feedback and suggestions in the comments below.

Why measurements are important ? The obvious reason is to determine the size of the frame but the important reason is to make sure that the frame is hidden behind the back of the TV.

When you get LED Strip, Adapter and Electrical wire, you them separately. To light up your LED Strip, you have to connect them together which is very easy.

I did not want to cut the LED strip to match the frame size, but if you want that, you can measure the LED strip size and cut it from the next separator indicator (4 copper dots with scissor mark on the strip after every 3 LEDs usually, you can't cut LED strip from anywhere but these marks)

For the same reason I wanted one for my TV. While looking for a TV backlight I did some research and concluded these points, which later became motivation for this DIY version.

When installing LED fiber optic cable lighting, make sure that the installation environment is clean and tidy. If dust enters the end of the LED fiber optic or the fiber cable is covered with dust, it will darken the light transmission.
