[Swansea Hackspace] An even led glow approx 2" diameter

[Emyr Morris]

I used the DISCO lamp from B&Q - they had a 9 LED version but they seem to
have discontinued that, they do still have a 3 LED version.

I ripped out the random RGB LEDs and replaced them with ADDRESSABLE RGB
LEDs...

I brought it along to SWAMP

This is the 3LED one

not cheep, but it is stylish and sits nicely in my office.

I must admit I bought mine when it was reduced in the Jan Sales.
