Whisky Light Shelf Proto

testing 3mm acrylic diffusion film for my whiskey shelf lighting setup. The difference is night and day! Using a Raspberry Pi 5 to control Adafruit LED Tape, the diffuser completely eliminates hot spots and creates perfectly uniform, smooth lighting across all the bottles. No more harsh shadows or uneven illumination—the color clarity and depth of each whiskey is really brought out now.

The acrylic film sits under the shelf edge, softening the LED light before it hits the bottles. Simple but incredibly effective. This is going to be a great addition to the full display system I’m building with bottle detection and touchscreen controls.

Specs: 3mm clear acrylic diffusion film, Raspberry Pi 5, Adafruit RGB LED Tape. Controlled via Python/NeoPixel library.

Battery powered UHF radio terminal

Built what’s called an AllStarLink node into a small pelican case that can be powered via USB, DC power, or battery. All BMS/charging is built into the UPS board I used.

Overall I’m super happy with the project. The last thing I need to do is wire the fan to the raspberry pi fan connector, but that should be easy. Just need to order a connector and make an adapter.
