Ok I stuck the LED strip inside nicely. It actually fit in really well with no extra.

I ended up glueing them in.

Also I cut the hole bigger and set the switch in

So I did the behind-the-scenes photos at a fashion show and I brought along my iphone box light. I set it up on a fire exit sign and used it as a blue kicker
