This lamp was my first experiment in ambient lighting using RGB LEDs. It was created while I was still in high school before I had any formal electrical engineering training. I believe at one point I had it serially controlled from a computer, but I also tried out an analog system of manipulating color proportions (R/B, B/G, R/G). I used a piece of tracing paper as a light diffuser. I had hoped to eventually integrate this with a real time clock and mp3 player to be used as an alarm clock in the morning.

At one point I had it serially controlled from a computer, but I also tried out an analog system of manipulating color proportions (R/B, B/G, R/G). This was also my first time designing a PCB, thus the horrifying right angles seen below.

This project has long since been scrapped with the LEDs being pulled for other projects.
