Look What I Did - Color Kinetics

This is me & my loft. I used Color Kinetics LED lighting throughout, and although this video is cool, you just have to see it in person. The lights can do absolutely anything you can imagine.

@jewel1288 Thanks! Check out my newest video on here and my website

@shazzy Start with one light. Just one. Get the hang of how it responds and what the light looks like. There are a lot of manufacturers that make all-in-one solutions but check ebay and the like for Traxon or Color Kinetics systems. They are the easiest to wire/program.

God I'd love to see all this WITHOUT the frenzied pace, WITHOUT all the annoying drunk zooming around by the camera guy and inane camera tilts and fast scene changes. AAAARGHHH!!! who needs that????? sorry but it's so incredibly distracting I just want so much to see this it's frustrating!!!! Otherwise from what I could gather, what an inspiring creative haven of lights, would have loved to see a mature presentation of this incredible home space without the need for dramamine afterwards.

@louiseb35 Haha, I know it's quite a high-energy video. The actual effect was much more subtle and the colors would change over hours, not seconds :)

@igoronline Thanks man. The youtube part I've pretty much covered. Scoured tonnes of videos and while the schematics are beyond me, I'm still willing to start small. But ofcourse its the really complicated bit that intrigues me, especially the computer controlled light show bit. That must take some serious wizardry.

@shaazy Buy an Arduino(a beginner's book on electronics wouldn't hurt either, theres lots of non-boring ones), watch some videos here on youtube on how to work with LEDs, draw some designs of yours and estimate the size and number of lights you want... then calculate the total voltage and amps the system will need and **ask someone else** to build or sell you a power source that fits the job.Beware though, power sources are very tricky and dangerous for a beginner to make by himself.

Wow man. Just wow. I want to do this in a room of mine which is about 250 sq yards but I have NO idea where to start and where to finish. A little help?

@vinasco2007 Nope, that's me :)
