It is an equipment that specially designed for Light Painting. Toy light stick Head down to your local toy shop and pick up a light saber. Recently, I got my hand on a cool new toy that called Magilight. They’re cheap, and can be used for light painting. Glow sticks The glow sticks often seen at parties and festivals. Innovation includes: patented Heat-Sink LED technology, fast-charging rechargeable flashlights, Quick-click tail-cap mode selection, programmable, multiple-functions and long run-times. LED light sticks The creme of the crop are the LED light sticks made by pixelstick and magilight. At the base of the battery cover, which unscrews from the bottom of the grip, there's even a tripod mount which will allow the Magilight to be attached to a vehicle, hung from a drone, etc. Maglite - 40+ years of designing and manufacturing America’s best flashlights and accessories.

You can dial the brightness from full power anywhere down to just 4% power, and you can either choose from preselected wand colors, dial them in directly, or import bitmap images for display row by row on the wand.

A few years back I heard of an interesting photography device. When it was launched, there was nothing quite like it in the market, and it made 600,000 on Kickstarter, which was very impressive for the time. It's just WS2811 for now, but I could look at adding it if someone wanted to send me a light or two. A few years back I heard of an interesting photography device.

The base Magilight is like a tube but can change colors, brightness, and strobe. The Magilight is 3ft long and much easier to use.

I would honestly only use it for cars and that’s it. I'll try dragging some more lights out this week and see what I can do.Ĭ) I don't have any GECE stuff in the firmware or lights to test with. The Pixelstick is 6ft long and in my opinion pretty unwieldy. I've tested 4 universe before, but its a little sketchy and you get some resets. There a little odd at 3.96 pitch, but keeps it open to use the wafers or euros.ī) The firmware currently only supports a single universe, but I'm pretty confident it could support two if required.

I'm still waiting on the connectors I ordered to show up and will do a fitment test when I get them. Thanks!A) It mounts at a right angle so I'm hoping it'll clear. I am interested in 15-20 of these things.Ī) If you have the Euro connector will the board still fit in a 1' PVC tube? Seems like it would have to grow to at least 1.5'?ī) Will the firmware (or can) support 2 universes per pixel stick on one output?Ĭ) I thought you had a video driving GECE with the pixelstick, is that working?
