DIY LED-Illuminated Sleep Chamber

Posted by timothy on from the good-in-bed dept.

Bulldozer2003 writes "'Finally something both nerdy AND sexy engineers can do.' It sounds like an oxymoron but this guy took a cue from The Vos Pad and decked out his own dorm room bed with Light Emitting Diodes. They're even fully adjustable 'allowing me to create every color of the rainbow.' Total cost, according to him in an email: 'Around $25, the LEDs cost me about $0.25 a piece in bulk, and the potentiometers cost about $6 a piece from digikey. I got the LM317 voltage regulators as a free sample from Texas Instruments. Lots of companies will ship you free samples, its a good deal for college students.'"

  1. The only sexy LED illuminated flat by humps · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The poster has obviously not seen nice flats and non geeky things (otherwise why would anyone describe a few DIY LEDs over a single bed sexy...)

    I cam across this flat a few years ago. Now this is proper LED and hi-tech stuff woth talking about!
