Glowing LED Things For My Home Office
I like things that glow, but not everything that glows. Genezix from chat has a few products in mind for me:
Okay, you’re obviously into video production at least somewhat, so how about some neat lighting for your home office that although it’s rather expensive to buy, the possibilities are nearly endless?
There are L.E.D. lighting par-cans and can be used for a number of lighting purposes including shining directly on you or for background lighting in your office. Best of all they are both controllable via a DMX lighting controller to do whatever you want. They can fade between colors, strobe, switch colors rapidly, or just stay on one solid color. You can also vary the brightness and the red, blue, and green LEDs individually creating any color you want. You can create a program and store it in the DMX controller that will execute commands in sequence to create flash or color change patterns on each individual light so you could have maybe one flashing blue and another fading between red and yellow…just depends on what you feel like at the time. Best of all they use very little power and generate little heat since they are LED. If you’re interested in this I could tell you more about setting these up
Eh, sounds more complex than I want it to be. Controller? If it’s not controlled via the Internet, it’s not interesting. :)

Actually, you can get par cans or an LED strip light. They are very cool and versatile.
I am a lighting designer by trade and often use them in installations as well as during live sconcerts. As far as controlling it via computer, you can install dmx control software on your computer and interface it with the lights thru a special dongle.
