What this video covers
VanOaksProps builds screen-inspired light fixtures modeled after the Smuggler's Run ride at Galaxy's Edge, combining 3D-printed parts, acrylic tubing, and craft foam detailing to achieve a convincing in-universe look. The fixtures are brought to life with Linkind RGBTW smart bulbs, which allow programmable color scenes and automation to replicate the immersive atmosphere of the ride. The build is sponsored by Linkind and doubles as a charitable tie-in with the Jimmy Darts Kindness is Candy initiative.
Key takeaways
- ◆3D-printed housings serve as the structural foundation, with craft foam and acrylic tube adding prop-accurate detail
- ◆Linkind RGBTW smart bulbs enable programmable color scenes that closely mirror the lighting mood of the Smuggler's Run attraction
- ◆Filler primer, granite spray paint, and metallic paint are layered to achieve a convincing worn-metal finish
- ◆Weld-On 4 acrylic solvent is used to bond acrylic components cleanly
- ◆The project demonstrates how smart home tech can elevate themed prop builds beyond static decoration
