The light in the Bambu Lab P1S is nice, but not very bright. It can be hard to see what happens when printing in black or to check the nozzle. I saw some youtuber upgrade his setup and I started to look around for what solutions there are. I found the BL LED mod by Dutch Developer and it looked like exactly what I wanted. I simply ordered that and a cheap LED strip. I had a LED driver already.

The parts assembled easily. The frame was also created by Dutch Developer and printed perfectly in PETG.

Sticking the LED strip to the frame was also painless.

Very nice! Reminds me of daylight on a stick from the Voron world. Having wrap around lighting at the top of your printer is really nice.
