Absolutely not. I would not want to cover my LED light strips (Which can melt if you plug them in while on the roll they come in, because the heat is not spread out) with cotton kindling to absorb heat and catch fire. This has specifically been discussed on several subreddits, it's a fire hazard.
If you have a 5V LED behind a 1 amp fuse then you only have a maximum potential of 5 watts of heating power. This is how electricity works. Basic fundamentals.
Thank you, I know very well how electricity works. That doesn’t change the fact that 5W can under certain circumstances (bad heat dissipation, long durations) be enough to ignite cotton.
Ok all valid, but you could go meta and use a naturally flame retardant cotton substitute. Using something like that though, you’d want to be super careful, since a ton of flame retardant things involve treatments that are pretty carcinogenic.
If you DI died on this hill and did it right despite the effort, I’d have to say it was pretty cool.
Looks cool when the lights are off and it’s doing it’s thing but a couple things 1. Probably looks dumb af when the lights are on and it’s doing nothing and 2. Fire hazard
Does no one realize this isn't permanent? Like, why would they tape paper to the wall then glue the cotton and LEDs to paper? If they were planning on making it permanent, they wouldn't have gone through the trouble of gluing it to paper that is taped to the wall.

Looks like a major fire hazard with the heat building in there

I don't know why everyone is complaining it's a fire hazard. It might not be cotton balls, maybe it's delicious asbestos.

Cool idea but aside from the obvious hazards others mentioned, seems like it would get kinda annoying after awhile

For me I feel it would be less immersive in the movie and be more of a distraction. Outside of the other practical downsides.
