    fairy lights

    Individually addressable LED strip lights (about $35/5m) and a simple Arduino processor to control can produce almost limitless effects and could be hardwired for on/off functions. Do some looking at what the Christmas guys are doing on YouTube for ideas and build-programming directions.

    What is it?

    One common use for this would be using LED fixtures on dimmers not designed for low wattage loads - by placing a synthetic load in parallel withe the low wattage, you create a load consistent with what the dimmer was designed to accommodate.Also works good for keeping you warm on cold show...
