Samoyed night light - part 7

Swapped over from LED strip to LED string, mock-up tape down of the LEDS and a live test – all good.

Cut a suitable DC plug lead off a AC adaptor and wired to a string of LED's left over from Nat Mac's 

Greyhound night light.

Ready to tape down the LED's so I can check the silhouette lighting effect, relocate any if needed and then carefully hot glue in place.

that looks rather funny.

Made a MDF retainer to hold the controller.

Looks OK, for the next session tomorrow morning fire up the glue gun.

Silhouette night lights - some thoughts

Thinking about wiring a DC plug onto a 'normal' string of white LED's and plug that into the controller, then do another light test. Laying out and positioning LED strip in a wandering pattern is painful and messy.

Mounting the controller and doing a mock-up light test.

This worked out well, I'll use a small pivoting strip of MDF to secure the controller.

A short video clip.

Sunday shopping trip

Shopping trip to market and a swing by ALDI Scoresby on the way home.

At the market came across these sound activated talking birdies that also move their head and wings. Sent a picture to ET (see next pic) to make her selection. Single $15 and double $20.
