Re: [sudo-discuss] light-up disco dancefloor

Hm - this one is $31 for 16ft, which comes out to around $6/meter: http://www.lightsforalloccasions.com/p-3195-led-light-strip-16-ft-300-leds-… [1] Not sure if it's fully programmable - might be hackable though.

And if the lightbulbs burn out i have a huge box of replacements (if they're normal lightbulbs) i think it would be really expensive to replace all that light with LEDs and i would not ask for sudo or omni to put community money toward that if we can just play with the free stuff that's already in there. also, last i bought addressible LED tape it was more like $60 per meter, for the sparse stuff. If you think it's cheaper let's have links.. still, it's hard to beat free.

John (the landlord) says that all the li ghts in there work, which means all we need is a controller. I have plenty of relay boards we can hook up to that stuff, so anyone who is interested in getting the lightup dancefloor working again should let me know , and we can work on it together. Or at least i can supply you with the parts and materials and help you if you get stuck. -jake _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss [5]
