HL1606 - Digitally Addressable LED Ribbons - Article

There is a very interesting and intriguing article posted today on using our HL1606 Digitally Addressable LED Ribbon. They are using eight lengths in a 2D array to produce an 8x8 LED canvas where they expect to use it as a platform in the development of games (snake, pong, etc.) or as a digital display board. Well worth the read and is a great example of the power in these ribbons. If you are looking to purchase the LED Ribbon, we still have them available from our online store.

RGB LED Garden Lights Project

During the summer of 2010, Manfred Pade set out to add some color to his outdoor garden display using the LED Rainbow and standard garden lighting holders. What he accomplished is truly amazing. Manfred has created his YouTube video of his presentation and has followed up with a full step-by-step guide on creating your own garden display.

A great deal of effort has been put into the creation of a tutorial which describes everything choosing the most appropriate garden lights, laying out the lamps around the garden, assembly of the controller and light, wiring, waterproofing, modifying existing lamps. He has taken it all into consideration.

We have setup a dedicated support page for Manfred's project where you can view more details on his accomplishments along with code that he used to further enhance his display.

The New LED Rainbow Is Here

We are very pleased to announce the latest release of our LED Rainbow system. The latest release features a completed redesigned board which now includes rising clamp terminal blocks to speed connections to the outputs and power, along with a power indicator LED. The LED Rainbow has continued to be our most popular product and continues to grow in popularity. The controller utilizes PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to control three outputs or RGB LEDs. The effects generated from the unit are nothing short of stunning. We now have a short video production of the LED Rainbow in operation. The unit was concealed into a standard home lighting fixture and a frosted-globe lens placed on top, which produces a spectacular display.
