They have fairy lights in them (SO appropriately named). The battery/switch to turn them on is hidden under the hats so I can turn them on easier/change the battery if needed.

If you are looking to make your own, I bought the lights from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LPZQKKC

u/Xanola · 13 pointsr/sewing

I made a similar costume and used these.

u/yourlovingnoone · 10 pointsr/DevilMayCry

Okay. Essentially, you're gonna want to make a template the size of however big you want the font to be (keep in mind the size of the plywood). Why? You're gonna want to draft out each entry and exit of the wire. Newsprint should do lovely.

Next up: Plywood. Mine's about 34×14.5". It's really up to y'all smokin' sexy stylish demons how big you want yours cut. Once you cut it, paint it. Two coats.

Once again, trace out the letters onto the plywood once the paint's fully dried, this will help as you start laying down the wire with super glue since this is a very curvy sign (I do recommend using a small brush over the traced lines). Mark the entries and exits again onto the plywood and drill holes the same width as the wire, roughly around 2mm.

I hope you didn't have much plans for the rest of the day, so get comfy. Now comes the threading and glueing of the wire. Thread the wire through the first hole and pull all the way through (tape the battery pack to the back of the board to make it easier to continue). Onto the fun part, brush a dash of super glue onto the traced path of the wire (not too thin or thick) and hold the wire in place until it sets, repeat this all along the traced curve until you hit an exit. Pull the wire through and thread into the next entry, making sure it's free of any knots, and repeat.

EDIT: This video by TheSorryGirls should pretty much help you get the gist of how I came to make my sign, especially the marking of the wire entries and exits.

here is what i used:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XJKOCBG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_5s0HAbREM7Z6Y the lights make sure its set to cool white if you are buying your selfnow the cable for the top most light is a bit short so u can always cut and solder a bit from the bottom light to the top one if you don't want the mess that i havealthough i did try to make it as neatly as possible.for securing the wires i just used clear 4inch zip ties and tucked them behind the frame inside.https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-8-Outlet-Conserve-Protector-F7C01008q/dp/B003P2UMNK/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1540851234&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=remote+controll+surge+protector got this surge protector it comes with 6 outlets which are controlled by a remote so you can turn on all the cases with 1 button

https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Tough-Double-Mounting-Inches/dp/B00OXVG9FW to secure the lights i used this double sided tape

and a bit of weather seal to keep the dust out on all 4 sides u can pick some up at home depot or fleet farm just make sure its 5/16th size

will be posting a big figure unboxing a bit later and how they all look inside the case.

Sure.

u/markday · 8 pointsr/BurningMan

Buy two of these, place battery packs in pockets(assuming you have pockets). Stitch light threads around coat in interesting manner. Done. Honestly, if you're wearing it at night because you're cold, adding lights is going to make it look more interesting(and functional) than trying to mess with dying/coloring it. \http://www.amazon.com/Operated-RTGS-Products-Satisfaction-Guarantee/dp/B004E328A4/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1407343277&sr=1-2&keywords=led+light+string+battery

Thanks! I was experimenting with these. They add a nice glow and are great for reflections in glasses.

I actually really love battery powered LED christmas light strings. I've found them at stores like Fred Meyers as well as on Amazon.... They're decently bright, super-portable, and I haven't had as many problems with connections as I have had with el-wire. That being said, it's fun to do a mix of el-wire and LED christmas lights...

I just went to Amazon and bought mini LED strip lights and glued them into the existing hood. They come in a huge variety of sizes, so just choose some that you can arrange in what you have.

These are what I got. But other sizes are available.

u/scottfishel · 6 pointsr/vinyl

To;dr: I spent a whole bunch of time putting together some custom lights for my setup. If you want to know more, read on. If you want to see the pretty pictures, click the links. Here’s one that shows the setup from the back of the room, and here is one from the front.

Intro

Some of you might recallmy last post. Well, I have finally found the light (forgive the bad dad jokes) at the end of the tunnel.

I took me basically the entire summer and a bit of the fall to get my system back up and running. Thankfully I have a old ‘65 Maggie in my living room that I spin from time to time when I’m desiring nostalgia. It took me as long as it did because I have a pretty busy life, but also because like Billy Joel, I go to extremes.

Like I said in my last post, I decided to replace all of my kallax because they apparently discontinued the natural color. I decided to go with a 3x4 and two 4x4s so my collection would have some room to grow. Since everything was boxed up, I also decided it would be a good time to wire in lights and stoppers.

Selection

I started to look at rope lights, but ultimately decided against them for a few reasons. First, I bought some, tested them, left them on for a while and felt that they were just putting off too much heat. Second, I really wanted them in the front, illuminating from above, and I didn’t just want to string them across the entire front. I like to put new records, favorite records or records I want to remember to listen to in front of the others for display. That and album artwork is fucking awesome. I quickly decided I wanted something to come from the back of the cabinet inside each cubby to just light up that top lip. I looked a bit, but wasn’t really finding exactly what I was looking for, so I figured out that I would probably be doing it on my own.

It was about this time that I decided that if I was going to put time into this, I may as well go for smart lights (Alexa already controls most everything in my house) and I may as well do color (that also reacts to the music, does strobes...). Because, well, it kind of matches the inherent extravagance of records collection itself.

I ended up going with these lights. .

Issues / Creating

Honestly, there’s a shit ton of variations for these lights, but they’re all probably made in the same shop, so I recommend buying one and testing it out. One thing I’ve learned after spending a decent amount of time with smart home stuff is that sometimes people in reviews have no idea what they’re talking about. “Didn’t work at all” or couldn’t get it to connect usually means “I know nothing about WiFi and therefore didn’t know that most of this stuff won’t run on a 5ghz channel, and my network isn’t set up so it will connect to 2.4. That is all to say that I noticed a number of bad reviews, bought them anyway (knowing Amazons return policy) and had absolutely no problem.

So, my plan was to use the junctions, clips and wires to build harnesses that would run all the power on the back of the kallax, with a wired clip running to the location that I wanted each light, and the remaining lights on the sides of of the stereo equipment, and then across the tops illuminating the box sets and legos.

Here’s where pain in the ass #1 comes in. The clips work well with the strips and the junctions, but they don’t connect directly to the wires. This was especially awesome because the wire that I bought fucking came with clips. Oh well. What that means is soldering, and a ridiculous amount of it.

I don’t mind soldering. In fact I find it therapeutic. However, this is 42 strips that each connect to at least one junction, in addition to jumpers between sections so they could all be controlled by two WiFi controllers. Next, the connections are all really small, and there are four of them for every single one. All in all, I believe that it ends up around 400 soldered connections.

So, one strip accepts the power from the controller. At the end of that strip is a clip with wires soldered. At the end of those wires is either a four way junction with wires either going to another strip, or to another junction that powers two more strips. That would do one vertical section of the kallax. One of the strips that is powered from that would have another clip and wire connected to the other end that jumped to another vertical section. Heres a photo showing a section being built and strips being powered at different sections.

To create each individual strip, the roll can be cut at certain points, and the rubber coating can be peeled and cut so it can be inserted into the clips. It’s obvious where to cut because there is a metallic connection with a dotted line through it. Every so often there is on that, rather than the copper connection, it’s a soldered and sealed connection. That can be cut and stripped like the others, but you’ll need to invest in a cheap solder sucker or wick to desolder that point or it won’t fit into the clips. I planned on doing this tutorial when I started to work on the project, and tried to remember to take pictures to illustrate. For some reason, this was the only one I took of a clip being soldered to a wire, and it’s the shittiest job, I’ve ever seen, so I’m going to assume it was done at the end of a session where many connections were created, and many beers were consumed.

Tips

I thought I would try to make this as a DIY thing, but it’s also soldering, which is more of a DIY after you practice sort of thing. That being said, it is something that anyone can do with the right patience, tools and a couple of hints.

Tip #1. Constantly test everything. If you test every connection immediately after making it, you can address your mistakes immediately. If you wait until you do a whole bunch, you end up having no idea what’s causing the problem.

Tip #2. Tin everything. This is the first thing you learn when learning to solder. Basically, this means you apply solder to both thing you want to join before you join them. This is me tinning a junction and some wires before connecting them.

Tip #3. Tape everything that you can. Whenever you solder things you want to make a physical connection (wrap the wire around what you’re soldering to). You can’t really do that here, so the tape helps in making the connections a little stronger. In the case of the junctions, the tape also insulates. The voltage is pretty minimal, but you still need to cover that up.

Installation

The strips have a self adhesive backing. which actually works pretty well. The wires running along the inside I decided to just use electrical tape. This has proven to have some mixed results, especially in the fronts where I was covering the white clips. I may eventually use them more like straps, stapling the ends.

Pain in the ass #2 - the clips pretty much just suck in general. I’ve run into a number of situations where the contacts aren’t holding against the strips tight enough, and they flake out a bit. This causes a bit of tinkering from time to time. Also, the space where the connection is made is pretty small, so a small shift and you lose one (blue being on one end).

This brings me to the big thing I would have done differently. I would have skipped the clips entirely and soldered the wires directly to the strips. I was avoiding doing this because I thought that I could run into situations where a strip would eventually go bad, and this would make it so I could switch it out. I think now that headache would have been minimal compared to the headache of setting them all up.

All in all, I’m pretty happy with it. I don’t use the color functions too often, but I have turned it to the sound reaction setting, and it’s pretty cool. I just need to get the remaining pictures and art on the wall and my basement will be ready to go (until I get around to finishing the bedroom and bathroom stubbed in the unfinished portion).

Thanks for reading if you made it this far. Hope it’s helpful for someone. I’ll be glad to fill in any details that you’re curious about.

u/daytwi · 6 pointsr/weddingplanning

The highest price these have been at in the past 6 months or so has been $12.35. This is a pretty average price for them according to my favorite price tracking site: https://camelcamelcamel.com/Battery-Operated-YIHONG-Decoration-Crafting/product/B01LPZQKKC

Just FYI in case anyone is looking at these and are worried that the price is going to bounce up to $29.99 and are feeling like they need to order now or else I'll miss out! -- it's highly unlikely based on the price history. Camelcamelcamel.com is an awesome resource for amazon shopping.

That said..this has me totally picturing ways to use these! Thanks OP!

Here's the LED strip, but pretty much any RGB LED strip will work.

The bulb on the other side of the room is a Lifx which is a kickstarted alternate to the Phillips Hue system. I'd recommend getting a Hue over a Lifx though - the lifx app is way under developed and still doesn't have some of the features promised in the kickstarter

Thank you! Those are standard RGB strips 5050 waterproof 300smd like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Epoxy-5050-Strip-Light/dp/B0085IXEYS

u/zorplex · 4 pointsr/Aquariums

Those are 3528 LEDs, a strip of 5050 RGB like this will perform much better. For 5050, each chip has 3 LEDs, one of each color. The 3528 has a seperate color for each chip. This means the 5050 is ~3 times as bright and will offer better whites as the colors are less spread out.

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/BurningMan

So, here is what I did. First time burner. I ordered a bunch of EL Wire off of Amazon for cheap (exact pack I got: http://www.amazon.com/Neon-Glowing-Strobing-Electroluminescent-Wires/dp/B003J9BD50/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1312231941&sr=8-4), and then went through the womens sections in a bunch of different stores. Why Women's? Because, for some reason, their clothes are more fun. At Old Navy I got an XXL Womens Turtleneck and a damaged v-neckish jacket thing. I turned the Jacket into a vest. I got 3/4 of a yard of Fur from Jo Anns, took some old pants, turned them into fur pants with fabric glue (It's really easy, honestly. Cut some fur off the yard, put glue on it, put on pants). And then, I went to Goodwill and got some more womens clothing... A long Zebra jacket that I'm gonna put EL Wire on, a small fur vest, and some white beach pants.

My outfits, basically, are -

All White fur Pants + Turtle neck + Fur Vest = Nighttime Party time
Zebra Print Jacket + Fur Pants = Zesty Night Funtastic Bombastic
Jacket-turned Vest + Sleeves from it on legs = Halfnaked Daytime Fun
Beach Pants + Jacket turned Vest = Slammin Not-naked daytime Adventuretime

I just made up those names on the spot... but you get the picture. It's pretty easy. I put the leftover fur on my bike, and on my goggles, and I still have some left. I think I'll just put it randomly on some clothes. I use the EL Wire + safety pins to highlight my clothes.

Double edit: Ask your female friends if you can raid their closets for burning man gear. Chances are, if your friends are awesome, they'll get totally excited and give you a bunch of ridiculous shit. Also, they'll probably want to get drunk and dress you up in stupid shit. It's win-win. Get out of your comfort zone! I did. It's my first burn, FUCK IT!

u/james_but_online · 3 pointsr/homeautomation

I bought these.

Nexlux LED Strip Lights, WiFi Wireless Smart Phone Controlled 32.8ft Waterproof Light Strip LED Kit 5050 LED Lights,Working with Android and iOS System,Alexa, Google Assistant https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0722VLVRR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jz3qDbK9B6786

They are pretty solid. You can cut the strip and buy extra power cords and WiFi modules. They are cheaply made but they get the job done.

u/MrrrrSparrrrkle · 3 pointsr/camping

I agree with others about finding a suitable camp before night fall. Also to help with the darkness, you can bring LED lights or a small backpack lantern. I have the Black Diamond Apollo and highly recommend it. Tiny enough to stash in a side pocket and the battery has lasted me a few nights on low light.

Also a small flask of scotch does me right :]

u/they_call_me_dewey · 3 pointsr/DJs

I think this will take more custom work than you think it will. This is the datasheet for the ICs in that LED strip, you will need a DMX decoder that will send the proper data stream over the bus. It would not be difficult with something like an Arduino if you have experience in that sort of thing, but the hard part then would be getting the Arduino to decode the DMX for each pixel.

The DMX decoder you linked only outputs PWM, so it will not work for those LEDs.

Edit: What WILL work is if you get a standard RGB LED strip like this one, then that decoder will work with one channel per color (which it seems is how it was intended to work to begin with).

Just cut any molex cable off and connect the Yellow (+12V) and Black (Ground) to the LED Strip.

u/Feathersrock · 2 pointsr/DIY

The battery should have a high amp-hour rating. Basically a 100 amp hour battery will supply a 1 amp load for 100 hours OR it will supply 100 amps for 1 hour.

Figure out the continuous power draw from your light system [for instance if the LEDs draw 10 amps at 12 volts, a 100 amp hour battery will last 10 hours at that load]. LEDs are pretty efficient you might get more life than in my example.

Next you will want a 12 volt LED controller that you will need to wire the + & - terminals of the battery to. What needs to be considered here is the fact that car batteries actually put out about 14 volts when fully charged. Now, 2 volts may not make a big difference but you want to make sure the LED controller will be happy with an extra 2 volts going through it. My guess is that you will be fine but just an FYI.

This controller: http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-TT-SL204-Activated-Controller-Plug-And-Play/dp/B008BD4734/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1395765292&sr=8-5&keywords=led+controller accepts a 12V power input, is sound activated, comes with a color remote and you can wire two 5050 LED strips directly into it.

Here is an example of the LEDs that work with this controller: http://www.amazon.com/SUPERNIGHT-TM-Waterproof-Epoxy-Strip/dp/B0085IXEYS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395765867&sr=8-1&keywords=5050+LED+strips

Then some white pvc pipe cut lengthway to cover the strip, or other way to diffuse the light/hide the led's

Actually one made of hexagonals would be nice too.

I have a bunch of led strips running on homebridge. I just bought generic led strips (rgbw and rgbww) and then bought a WiFi controller and power supply. Then I installed the magichome homebridge plugin. They work amazingly well. I even have fairy lights using one of those rgbw controllers (by just connecting line and neutral).



The controllers I use are:

Nicely done. If you're going to play around with stuff like that more I'd look into getting some of these instead of using christmas lights https://www.amazon.com/Starry-String-Lights-Flexible-Copper/dp/B00I7M7C40/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1517454079&sr=8-8&keywords=led+light+wire

the copper wire in between the lights is so thin that they are way less noticeable (sometimes not noticeable at all depending on your aperature)

u/notyouryear · 2 pointsr/cycling

I used 9' lengths for the wheels. The battery pack for the 9' lengths is only 2 AAs. When I zip tied the on, I tried to get the battery back as close to the hub as possible, so it wouldn't offset the rolling weight of my tires.

This is the exact wire I used. In the end, I used 2 15' lengths, and 3 9's lengths. The reviews are pretty accurate. I honestly didn't notice the humming once I was actually moving and on the road. No one who rode near me could hear it. I pointed it out once and everyone said they hadn't even noticed it.

They are nice because you can just snip off extra lights and they still work. I wonder if you can mount them around the inside of the housing and hide the battery pack under the tank or something.

I don't actually know, it was just an example of the types of things you can find out there. Amazon has them as well. EL Panel and EL Wire. Though in that case you would need to do a bit of splicing and soldering to make it run off of one battery pack.

EL stands for Electro-Luminescent, meaning when you run a current through the material it gives off light.

u/Democritus_Mav · 2 pointsr/battlestations

From Amazon. There are any number of LED kits available for relatively cheap. Link

u/drop_the_bass_64 · 2 pointsr/GoRVing

Not OP, but have done some vehicle/trailer lighting/wiring before.

​

Working with 12V DC is relatively safe, just make sure not to short the ends. You can, of course, disconnect the battery if you're worried about it (if you're not worried about it, just leave the outside light switch off or find the fuse that goes to it and flip it off). I've wired up a good bit of stuff in 12VDC with it live and haven't ever been shocked, though that's not to say there isn't risk. At a minimum I'd recommend shutting off the light switch.

​

You should be able to use something like these here:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SXGS94/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

but those aren't the *greatest* at staying put on, so you may try something like these:

​

What you're looking for are 12V LED Light strips.

​

I'd recommend getting some waterproof, and adhesion would be my main concern as I'm driving down the highway, I wouldn't want them blowing off.

u/bobsyouruncletoo · 2 pointsr/DIY

you could make a shadow box to mount the picture frame to. Inside the shadow box you could put an LED light strip in the box and mount the battery pack on the outside but hidden behind the frame.

u/AnneBancroftsGhost · 1 pointr/CrappyDesign

Really? I have to disagree, those were personal attacks. They were saying she was the wrong kind of wife. t's hard to find 25-40 year old sources equivalent to modern-day blogs like on your Michelle list. But if you listened to conservative radio, you heard nothing but the meanest of ad hominems against hillary.

Endless criticism of her hair, her clothes, her looks. Gennifer Flowers leading the tabloid march about her not being able to satisfy bill as a wife which is why he cheats. Calling her a lesbian, militant radical feminist. Hell, you can even buy a literal Hillary Clinton Nutcracker (this has been around since the 90s, along with a Bill Clinton Corkscrew). She's been accused of murder, that's how bad people disliked her. When she speculated about a 'vast right wing conspiracy' against her and her husband, it was not without warrant.

This is not meant to diminish the evil and ugly attacks that have been directed at michelle. I'm still only disputing the statement that michelle was the first first lady to endure such attacks. She was not.

u/techyg · 1 pointr/CR10

I am planning on adding an LED strip also. I don't have my CR-10 yet, but I have other printers that I have added LED's on. From what I can tell, there is no 12v pins available on the CR-10 board. So you would have to either tap into the power supply or plug it in separately. I saw someone else tapped into the 12v line for the fan that cools the heat break but I don't think that's a very good idea.

You can buy a strip that includes a power supply and a remote control for $17 on Amazon.

If you go with something like this, you need to cut the strip to fit on the CR-10. Then you will need to solder 4 wires to the end of the strip where you cut, and connect them to the control box. Then that plugs into the LED strip and you can turn it on and off with the remote. There are better strips out there than the one above, because those LED's are spaced a little further apart. Here is another but it's more expensive.

Last year we brought this Zinka sunblock and it was a lot of fun... everyone wants to stay protected from the sun and have fun! They don't seem to have any available for prime, but it's worth it.

or you could go for a nighttime fun thing and get some El wire... totally portable and has different flash settings. Just bring extra batteries! They are fun to watch/wear and make you stand out at night with your group so you can find each other better. Just wrap the wire around yourself, your hat, you bag.. whatever and turn it on!

u/sillycyco · 1 pointr/BurningMan

A piece of PVC pipe, some LED strips or EL Wire zip tied around it in a spiral and there ya go. You could make something like that in 20 minutes.

To do it on the cheap and easy, order these, each strand is 9ft long. Take the battery pack to Home Depot and find a 10ft length of PVC that it will fit inside of, probably 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" and get a couple end caps.

Drill a hole in the end caps and stuff the battery packs inside each end, run the EL Wire out the hold and around the pole. Zip tie in place and there ya go.

Not fancy or anything, but dead simple and cheap. LED strips would be brighter.

An LED strip like this rigged to a 12v power supply, batteries stuffed into the PVC would work and be a lot brighter. Plus you'd have a remote for changing the colors.

u/snugglebandit · 1 pointr/snowboarding

I dont know how this guy did it but you could use something like this with a controller like this. You could use amazing goop or something similar to attach them to the board. The glue on the led strips is very poor. After that, all you need is a 12v power supply and a connector to the RGB controller. I have a lot of lipo batteries from RC stuff so that is what I would use for power. I would try a 1000 mah 3s for starters and either velcro it to the binding or my pants leg. for connectors I use JST.

u/DEOREM · 1 pointr/homeautomation

After you mentioned about the red channel maybe not being as bright. I actually tested that and you were correct. Red is about 70% as bright as green and blue. This might account for the bad colour blending.

Both controllers produce the same wrong colours so I am beginning to think it is the led strip.

This is the second controller. Tomshine Wifi LED Controller DC5-28V Mini RGB Smart Working with Alexa Android / IOS Mobile Phone App 16 Million Colors 20 Dynamic Modes Sound Activated Static Color Changing for LED Strip Light https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06Y584C6V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dUPXAbKMG1VM6

It works the same as the other and connects to the same app so it does seem strange both produce the wrong colours.

Can you recommend a good led strip to buy and I’ll purchase it to eradicate that as the issue.

u/darietto · 1 pointr/homebridge

thanks for your reply. So i think this is the device i'm looking for:

the description says the output power is
5V ≦ 60W / 12V ≦ 144W / 24V ≦ 288W

so since i have 3 24v led of 150w each i'll have to buy 3 controller, right?

Can it work with white only strips?

Thanks

u/andflywithme · 1 pointr/LightningInABottle

use something like this! you just have to find a way to secure the battery pack. I wanted to do this last year but decided against it because I want as little weight on my body as possible for maximum boogie, but I've seen it done and it works well

u/a455 · 1 pointr/AskElectronics

A typical 60 LED/meter strip runs on 12V and draws about 4 Watts/meter. A battery of (8x) AA cells or (3x) 18650 cells will make about 12V and 30Wh. So one meter of LED strip will run for about 7.5 hours (30Wh/4W). Two meters of the LED strip would run for half that time, and so on.

u/onejdc · 1 pointr/halloween

For those pining for these (myself included!) you can make them yourself using a technique like the one they show here. The girls use T90 wire but honestly you could probably get away with coat hangers or any 14+ gauge electrical wire.

I'll try to make some and see how it goes. After I go to Target ;)

edit: found this on amazon. Seems much more economic

u/dopedemon · 1 pointr/makeuporganization

I've been looking into lights for my mirror too. I've been leaning towards something like this as it's flat, easy to install, bright, and not very expensive. There's tons of these strip light sets on amazon, just make sure as you're scrolling through to read reviews and pick up an adapter (the one I've linked actually comes with one). The one I've linked is also dimmable!

u/tajwk · 1 pointr/AskBattlestations

I use this inside my case. It comes with mounting hardware making it really easy to route however you want. It also has 3 brightness levels and an on/off switch.

For backlighting behind my monitors/desk, I use something like this. I typically only use a single color, but I opted for a version with color changing LEDs. The adhesive on these things sucks, so if you purchase one, I suggest getting some of these and some zipties to mount it.

u/KoloHickory · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Logisys LDM12WT LED Molex Self Adhesive Flexible and Extendable Strip, 12-Inch, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HJLIY7O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_eFPpzb2DCJVY0

Wanted something short, and super simple just white with no rgb control that connects to molex. It's stuck to the top of my case next to the top case fan with the provided 3m adhesive strip.

I bought it for $4.50 though. Not sure why it's over $10 now.

u/lightfork · 1 pointr/buildapc

The only solutions I can think of for you is using a IR module

If you don't want the remote, you could try using a Wifi module.

Then to power it, you could use something like this or figure out a path to run the wire in from your wall adapter.

Shop around, you might be able to find a kit for around the same price but this should give you a basic idea of what you may need.

u/Emerald_Flame · 1 pointr/buildapc

These little guys will do basic RGB: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JS0KEBW/

However, they wouldn't have software on your computer to control things, you'd have to control it through your phone, or google assistant/alexa.

It has a 12V barrel connector too, so you'd have to find an adapter or make one.

u/ShafeDaddyFresh · 1 pointr/desktops

As far as I know, you'll need some kind of module to control the strip. Something like a Hue+ kit is ideal, but you can get something like this for cheaper at the cost of working well. Depending on your motherboard, you may even have built in compatibility through something like Asus Aura.

As for, /r/desktops, this is just a place to show what your Windows home screen looks like. I'd maybe try /r/buildapchelp or maybe even just /r/buildapc for this kinda stuff :)

u/sillyrants · 1 pointr/AskTechnology

It's hard to just dim the brightness from a switch, though. LED dimming is not something that has a widely adopted standard. Each manufacturer usually has their own system for matching a dimmer with bulbs.

Can you find a smart light strip instead?

u/pointandclickit · 1 pointr/homeautomation

ESP8266 is the ticket. But no need to reinvent the wheel.
The H801 and Arilux (goes by a bunch of names, just search for wifi led controller) are both ESP based and have several firmware options.

Some of the better firmware options I've come across:

Espurna Has a nice interface, but doesn't provide a dedicated white channel. I also had some problems with flickering on my white lights. Would look at again if I decide to do RGB.

Tasmota Works with the H801 for sure. No reason it shouldn't work with the others assuming you configured the correct pins.

ESPEasy I'm using this with the Lights plugin. Seems to work the best for the white channels. A little more involved as the standard release does not come with the Lights plugin.

I took the EL panel and applied a vinyl sticker I custom cut on a Cricut machine, then hot glued the panel to the bag. The EL wires on the bag were attached using fishing string, sewn on every few inches. Same with the LEDs, every few inches I attached them to the arm straps using fishing string and a needle.

List!

  • Led light wire

  • Glass Dome

  • Hot glue gun

  • Artifical flower

    The glue gun and flower I got from Micheal's craft store. I also drilled a small hole into the center of the base and stuck the flower in, hot glued inside the hole and around the bottom of the flower for extra support.

    The led's came on a lengthy wire, so I cut them down to a size and wrapped them on the inside of the lip of the wooden stand, giving the glass dome plenty of room to sit.

Oh okay -- so these are the other lights I get which do plug in straight to the wall.

So that should get rid of the transformer problem, right? How would I hook it up then?

(Also, thanks for your reply, that was really helpful. I didn't realize the voltage issue.)

They have their own proprietary app. But I'm planning on controlling then with IFTTT. When I turn in my smart switch, it will turn them on.

I ordered them off of Amazon, it was: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJKOCBG/

Tbh, I might try and return these, the cables are a bit too short for to reach the floor from the top of the detolf. If the cables were about 5-7 inches longer, these would be perfect for a detolf.

It was definitely a fun project.

  • The LEDs are individually addressable like a SPI.This means that instead of needing 300 connections to 300 ports we attached the LEDs in a serial strand and each LED's address is just its number. So to change the colour of the 10th light we load the colour at the address of 10 and then 'render' the entire string. We used this library ( https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x )

  • We had a separate power supply for the LEDs. While it was possible to briefly power the entire strand (300 LEDs) from a single Raspberry the brightness wasn't what we wanted and we were afraid we would draw far too much power and burn out the RaspberryPi.

  • The wiring diagram is relatively simple, I'll ask if I can get it from the guy who was responsible for the wiring. I'll also look into seeing if I can get permission to release the source code.

  • Our resolution for both cameras was 160x120 which we polled at 5Hz. Given more time and in the future, we may look into a different CV library to make it more responsive.

  • I thought we had to supply a clock signal for the LEDs as well but it seems like these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085IXEYS/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0085IXEYS&linkCode=as2&tag=telet-20 don't require much (3 lines). For our project it was deemed ok to have a slight delay so we didn't have to be super accurate.

I used these for a project recently, they worked just fine. You'll probably also need some little 4 pin conectors and some rgb wire as well for whatever you want to do with them.

thanks for the reply. I purchased [this kit] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BJHGUCU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which looks to be the foundation of the costume. I also watched a few youtube videos such as [this one] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_b08YRcY4s) that look to do what you did (I saw you comment on some of the guy's other vids). Assuming you do it this way, what kind of wire are you using to connect the cut pieces?

I'll probably make a run to Radio Shack or something similar and get the solder part# 64-025 (already have a gun) and battery pack to power it. Any suggestion or tips on the battery pack?. After that, I think I'm all set on parts and need to build.



On the GMA segment, I told my wife you were coming up and seeing it might give me a better idea how to build it. Afterwards I told my wife you were only on for 15 seconds and bet you were wondering why you went. She said, "for the free trip to NY of course." I imagine she's right.



Also, why haven't you put paid ads on your youtube video? You could be making money on those views.

You’d be better off not using an inverter, since you’d be going DC > AC > DC.
If you bought something like I’ve linked, you can look at the sticker on the plug when it arrives to see its output, and then connect up however many batteries in series to match.
Then just chop the cable and use some croc clips or something to connect it all up

These are the ones I used. I have a CR-10 Mini and they fit inside the grooves perfectly, with just a tiny bit of clearance.
