Hello folks!
Planning out a lightning bug effect for an upcoming musical. I know we could probably build a "star drop" thing and throw it on an effect but I'm trying to reduce build time on this piece.
I've seen plenty of string light star drops. I figured I could adapt that idea and hang some addressable christmas lights (which i have seen before), plop a random effect on it and call it done. Unfortunately I can't seem to find anything online. Also, using only 1 address per diode/lamp would also help because I'd prefer not to use multiple universes for this.
The closest thing I found was a brand called Twinkly with 3 channel tuneable white strings. With their focus on the app, I'm not even sure I could make them work with one of our in-house drivers so that we can have light board control.
So.... has anyone seen any *addressable* white string lights out there?
Or should I just give up. buy a couple hundred grain of wheat lights, and schedule a week of laying out 30+ feet of tiny wires and tiny lamps in very specific locations?
Thanks!
