Fireworks, but the safe LED kind
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 4:51 pm
In November 2011 I went down to the School Spectacular concert as my daughter was singing as part of the combined school choir. While there one song stuck in my mind as a great one for the 2012 Christmas lights display - Katy Perry, Firework
Now, you cant do a song like that without a firework item, so I started looking at items and came up with a list: 10 meters of 30 LED/meter RGB Strip, 8 meters of 25mm plastic conduit, 5 meters of 90mm PVC drainage pipe, 11 meters of 16mm and 2.2 meters of 19 mm clear plastic tube, two 4 way 25mm junction boxes, plenty of black tape, cableties and more.
At the moment I have only created the top arms of this item - 5 20cm sections per arm, 2 groups of 4 arms. The gap in the center will later be filled with a number of 25mm square items containing 3 5050 RGB LED's to give a "Blast" effect. The lower vertical section will be 2 meters long and contain 3 sections of 3 channels each.
