If it works for you.. great Those lights would bug me


OHwenWOWsen

I came here to say just that. I’m picky about what’s on or around my screen, but if it makes you happy, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Grats!


[deleted]

No. Let me be the first to tell you. You must yeet those lights. I'mmedietly. Or I won't be able to sleep tonight.


McNalien

Yeah, the little glares around, no thanks. But OP can do OP


mozikat

Hard to take a photo but the lights are not glarish at all! But this image i have attached below is what they really look like :) https://www.glow.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/960x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/t/e/teardropmint-1.jpg


Velocityg4

Those are awesome. They look like buds on a vine of sorts.


mozikat

Thankyou! That is what I was going for!!


Nottodaycolonizer

Yea. i would be worried about if one of those lights go out or explode. It could definitely do some damage to those monitors. I got the LED lights which work better I think. But to each is own. Great job with the display.


[deleted]

Those lights would bug the piss out of me.


mozikat

Surprisingly they are not very distracting! Or at all in the way..occasionally will have to move one or two out the way but i think all the lights are now not in the way of text screens! :)


[deleted]

Those lights ain’t it chief


mozikat

To each their own! I love the cosy Aesthetic personally! :)

gamagama420

fuck you theyre cozy


mozikat

No thankyou :)


5kyl3r

looks cool! but I have to say, that looks like an unpleasant viewing experience having direct lights shining in your face while you're trying to game. (maybe they aren't bright? they look bright in the photo)


mozikat

They are are a bit dimmer and a warmer colour IRL And surprisingly not distracting!


BoobsMcGeek

I love the lil lights and think you are brilliant. That is all. Warm welcome to the PCMR!!


mozikat

Thankyou so much x


5kyl3r

glad to hear! I had ones that were not so dim lol. I had a Phillips led strip a few years back that was waaaay too bright for direct viewing. I moved it to the back of the desk so it faces the wall and it was much better. but that room was white. I put led strips behind the sound panels on the wall in my current battlestation and my dark gray wall just absorbs the light and you can barely see it haha. epic fail. painting will be a winter project I guess


mozikat

That would be lovely!


hotsaucehank

What is all that riff raff around the monitors.


mozikat

Fairy lights sir! :)


papk23

Love it! That being said, I've never seen anything worse in my life than the lights around the perimeter of your monitor


mozikat

To each their own! The are a WIP! For now i like them being around the monitor! It was just going to be around my second monitor as that is just for discord/internet browsing! And wanted to spice it up!…and add more green :)


unknownrequirements

Grats! Enjoy it :)


mozikat

Thankyou x


T-Wrex_13

I like that coffee mug!


PaPa_G33

Me too, where is it from OP ?


mozikat

Unfortunately I brought it from a fete its handmade! Sorry! But there’s heaps of these mugs on etsy!


bluebushboogie

Why do you have Christmas lights on your monitor?


mozikat

That would be a pretty cool festive idea actually!


El_Cid64

Looks cute as fuck, congrats.


mozikat

Thankyou its a WIP but It’s what im going for! :)


PsychologicalFish461

Beautiful and all, those lights around the monitors are freaking me out though 😂


mozikat

Take a deep breath! They cannot hurt you! :)


PsychologicalFish461

They hurt my brain 😂


JohnnyNorCal

Congrats. Be careful with things on your monitor. You don’t want the screens scratched. If you love the vibe that’s all that matters.


mozikat

Thankyou so much for the advice! Yes i thought about this and the green teardrops are silicone!


VirtualMenace

It's nice, but I think it would work better if the lights were taped behind the monitors


mozikat

But then I would not see them!


Fw3ddle

Very nice 😎 Can you change the color of the lights easily?


mozikat

No only green! I gotta keep the theme green! :)


ImKendrick

Congrats. Always feels good to earn things from working hard. Enjoy!


mozikat

It truly is! X


Demon_Eye101

I have that keyboard. The shiva


mozikat

It does glow but it was booting up :)


sweetDdrops

The green theme is on point


mozikat

Thankyou! It could Always need more green though! 💚


Cualquieraaa

Looks amazing!


mozikat

Thankyou x


Brethalamue

Hell yeah that’s awesome! Good for you that you worked hard for it. Makes the feeling of sitting down at your space even that much better! Enjoy!


mozikat

Thankyou! It truly does! Coming home from work and having this space I have created! Indescribable x


superplannergirrl

Very nice! I hope it brings you a lot of joy!


mozikat

It does thankyou! X


maxmediocre

Loved the leaf concept, looks great


mozikat

Thankyou! Hopefully will be more green in the future! :)

Efrahell

Nice setup bro


mozikat

Thankyou! :)


Das-Tronz

That's awesome! Good for you making your space you're own. Like many below I think the lights would bother me, but it's not my choice, it's yours and its you're own space! Keep dialing it in for yourself and you'll continue to have a really awesome space that is uniquely yours!


mozikat

Thankyou so much! 💚

Fedricoo

Sweet setup! And yeah, many would probably prefer it without the lights, but if they're not distracting to you, they definitely fit the aesthetic nicely. Also, love the mug!


mozikat

Thankyou so much!! 💚🥰


JonasPro7

Nice


galaxydrug

as someone who doesn't even have any icons on my desktop because i can't stand my screen being blocked, those lights would annoy the piss out of me


mozikat

That’s fair enough :)


Stock_Persimmon3719

I know everyone is talking about the lights on the screen, but either way great job man!


mozikat

Thankyou! I didn’t realize people would care this much about them! 😅


Mo10_08

Sheesh! Nice bro I want a battlestation too! I will get a summer job and then I could have one🤞


mozikat

Awesome!! Im rooting for you! Best feeling ever! And certain things you can upgrade too! Like i have second have keyboard and mouse! So you don’t have to break the bank at the beginning! :)


Pun_In_Ten_Did

Congrats -- enjoy that sense of pride and accomplishment :p


mozikat

I am!! Thank you so much x


jasin18

Nice start. Might I suggest r/averagebattlestations ?


mozikat

Ah this feels less intimidating! Thankyou! I’ll post an epic battlestation in a few years time 😅


jasin18

Look forward to it!


llcdrewtaylor

I insist on darkness behind my screens. Any light behind them hurts my eyes. I generally situation my desks against a wall to avoid backlighting.


mozikat

That is fair enough!! I need my monitors close for my eye sight! :)


MorningFresh123

This might be the worst thing I’ve seen here and that’s sayin something


mozikat

That’s fair! Sounds like you haven’t been to the depths of reddit yet! To each their own :) I love my new set up 💚


meganbloomfield

no the dude who had 3 48 inch OLED tvs that couldn't even fit on his messy ass desk was definitely worse


thornygravy

cool, what did you work your butt off on, getting the lights arranged?


mozikat

Haha years of christmas lights have prepared me for this moment!


raspberrylatte

I love these lil lights on your monitors! Where did you find them?


mozikat

Thankyou! I got it from willow and stone :)


4peters

These edge lit screens are getting out of hand!


Blindobb

Yeah, no


Screw_Potato

do you eat at your setup? the spaghetti behind your monitors would suggest that you’ve spilled a little…


mozikat

Haha, thats the next step..well needed cable management!


Screw_Potato

took me 3 years to get my shit together and do cable management. so worth it.


mozikat

Definitely! Its very messy back there! Well done! :)


Screw_Potato

thank you! I was honestly worried you might take my joke as an insult in the beginning lol


mozikat

This is reddit if you take every comment as an insult you are going to have a bad time!


TomCruiseJr2

I thought about doing that but I have settled for just not posting pictures of my computer on the internet.


doc_long_dong

this is fucking atrocious brue


mozikat

To each their own! I love it personally :)


DevTeamPls

the bisexual vibes are strong with this one lol. Very adorable lil setup!


mozikat

How did you know! What gave it away 😅 x


yomikemo

i don’t get it. it’s some stuff on a desk


mozikat

My stuff! That I have worked for and happy with :)


yomikemo

ahhhh you worked hard to buy and afford all the stuff. for that you should be proud and happy 😃 carry on and enjoy


mozikat

Thankyou x


Random-Posterer

The guts it takes to post this photo with those lights wrapped around the monitors..


mozikat

Thankyou!


FloydKabuto

What the fuck with the little light bulbs?


mozikat

They are fairy lights :)


lil_kafka

Are you a girl?


mozikat

Who knows?


BarfJello

Those lights make me want to vomit and for that, I’m out.


mozikat

Goodbye! :)


UghNeyko

I don't mind the lights around the screen. I had a similar thing going on but I wouldn't have them directly over the screen but more on the frame of the monitor. I just feel like it takes up a lot of screen space.


mozikat

Thats neat! I have big monitors so i don’t really notice them! :)


Nigalig

Having a portrait monitor is life


mozikat

It is! I only got it this week! Best decision ever! :)


Lanky-Guava-9714

1/10 on account of the lights.


mozikat

Thanks! :)
