Shifting from painting, water colors & all the other forms of past creativity. I spent the last several weeks building more “future tech”.
—->_ future.tech_ : (N) [?] – prototypes of creations that are there to influence the makers and do-ers of the world. Hopefully those younger than the theorist.
This time : prototype “500block wormhole giga fiber upgrades.”
– a “device” that would allow me to go from the 500 block at 18421 zip code to the 500 block of the 18431 zip code. (a mire 18miles [~30km] from each other )
Dissecting soldering \ hard wiring & pushing the limits of what they say is “buy a roll or 4 of lighting & several packets of FSJEE 2pin connectors to create endless professional results.”
Originally I wanted to buy a “chandelier” pre-made and ready to go. But unsure of the the life span of encapsulated LED’s (as I was just burnt on purchasing a kitchen LED light fixture. A 10year non serviceable fixture burnt out in less than two, I wondered what was the life span of this chandelier ? & CAN I REPLACE COMPONENTS ? ) And for 20% or so more I could buy the supplies with KNOWN higher quality components & assemble / construct something several factors larger myself to shapes formed from Imagination.
[ in hindsight, it was a lot more work. corrections. hacking than expected on initial inquiry. But I don’t think i would re do it in any other way. ..
well maybe with a little less stringent timeline for completion.]
The result was 10 individual & completely re configurable independent led structures. One configuration : sets of 3/4 stacked vertically to make a “chandelier”, the other was a long row 4ft x 12ft [1.25m x 3m] to make a “canopy” of fractal LED’s.
