A ceiling lamp based on a resting rowing shell from underwater.

Size

23" diameter circle-ish; that means 75.4" circumference, ie 1.9m

Electronics

LEDs and Arduino ordered from adafruit, order 469886, justthis1please!

Arduino

Arduino Size

0.7" x 1.9" x 0.4" (17.77mm x 49.52mm x 11.59mm)

LEDs

white

  • 60 LEDs/m, max 1.2A/m at full brightness
  • 1200mA / 60 LEDs = 20mA / LED
  • installed length for 99 LEDs --> 1980mA at full brightness
    • suspect this is why things are getting hot

colour LED WS2812B

  • 34 LEDs installed
  • somewhere I have a reference of 60mA/each --> 2040mA
    • likely wrong, because the USB drove it just fine. So, must be able to limit to 500mA...

Power Supply

  • need 2A for each 5V (colour), 12V (white)
  • 0.5A, so 60W
  • ebay [2]
  • 10.7 x 4 x 3cm
