After nearly a year, I finally finished up putting LED ‘stars’ onto our bedroom ceiling. See this earlier post where I talk about getting it started.
After a lot of soldering and taping, I managed to tape 32 white LEDs to the ceiling of our bedroom, and get stars working. I tried a bunch of different wiring ideas out before settling on simple bare buss wire. I just put some white electrical tape to keep it in place, and tape over any place where the lines have to cross.
The affect is really pretty awesome with the room dark. There are just enough stars lit at any one time to barely light the room, but not so bright that you can’t fall asleep with them twinkling.
Nothing like blinking LEDs!
