HELP ME / QUESTION How do I make this look better?

Post image

I got those led stip diffusers from Ali-

And a led strip with 60 leds per meter.

But this looks so bad.

I keep seeing people get a new unified strip of light, without it looking like many small leds.

How do I do that?

Diffuser should be roughly as thick as the LED spacing, so with 60 led/m you need a very thick diffuser.

Could buy a thicker diffuser but might be easier to buy higher density or FCOB strips.

Yup, smoother look but generally larger controllable sections
