there are already, i believe, lightbulbs and gels down there, and the
wires are all run.. i think all we need are a couple of relay boards
(which i have) and a controller to sequence the lights. 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.

i think they're ~$10/m on alibaba and can run off a beagleboard. rabbit is the

I just want to remind everyone that the disco dancefloor can light up, but the controller
doesn't exist anymore. 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.
