(v0.9) Networked RGB Christmas lights performing “Feliz Navidad”

July 1st, 2010 | Author: lionmom

Note: this is v0.9 of the video. v1.0, with re-dubbed (and much better-sounding) audio is now available — www.youtube.com Ever want a string of Christmas lights made with RGB LEDs, so all the lights can change colors? Or with their own microcontrollers, so each can act autonomously? Hell, why not go all the way, and network them while you’re at it? I did. The full gory details are at TreeGee.com (or will be in a day or two… I just registered the domain name yesterday, so it might not work for another day or two) but here’s the short version: for the past 4 years, I’ve burned most of my Decembers, Novembers, and increasing chunks of October working on this project. This year, for the first time, they look like “normal” LED Christmas lights (I bought a few sets of clear LED lights on sale at Lowe’s & removed the plastic diffusers from them to use on my own lights), and the controller I built last year finally works properly & reliably communicates with the lights. The result?

How expensive? I don’t know. I’ve lost count. If you assume my time is valueless, and you ignore the cost of the tools I’ve bought, the parts I’ve destroyed, and the crate of non-working light modules (roughly 3 or 4 for every working one that you see on the tree here), each light module has about worth …

This video was originally going to be just a routine video showing this year’s Christmas lights I had put up, but somehow it turned into a pro-LED propaganda video. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! LED’s are amazing little bits of plastic and semiconductor, and now they’re making our holidays even brighter and more colorful.

Admittedly, if you’re not really into LED technology, then you might find this video boring.

Frisco Christmas Lights Synchronized To Music- Wizards in Winter

June 22nd, 2010 | Author: lionmom

The song is Wizards in Winter by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

This is a really cool light display that I found that has been synchronized to the music Wizards In Winter.  This is just another example of how you can have beautiful displays of lights, which can utilize energy efficient led’s.  You can have it all…beauty, fun and energy efficiency.
