Very cool!
You should make a short video showing the lights shown on a wall in a dark room!
@ mtylerjr - Thanks. I’ll try later.
Nice!
I had the same question as @ mtylerjr. How well does it actually work as a flashlight? I can see getting a lot of use with something like this with the Scouts if it puts out enough light.
Maybe set it next to an unmodified flash light and compare. Great project. I want to make one now!
I was thinking a great camping toy…
If I built one, I’d add one more switch to play some disco audio files 
@ ianlee74 - It is a good flashlight too. I need to find my glue gun and fix the ring, before taking comparison pictures. Misplaced it somewhere. Right now ring is just hanging by wires there.
@ Gus. That what I said to myself when I saw the article in the magazine. ;D
@ mtylerjr - That is what my wife said. ;D
@ mtylerjr -
disco audio files ??
How about some Swing?
I suppose - although I didn’t think swing is associated with colorful strobe lights like disco is 
Well, you can tell by the way I code my stuff
I’m embedded man: no time for fluff
Piezos loud, components warm, I’ve been solderin’
Since I was born
And now it’s all right, It’s GHI,
Come to make my projects fly
I can easily understand
The gadgeteer effect on man
Whether you’re a hacker or whether you’re a slacker
It’s GHI, It’s GHI
Everybody typin’, and easy prototypin’,
Cause it’s GHI, GHI
Ah, ha, ha, ha, GHI, GHI
Ah, ha, ha, ha, GHI
