@vwillcox is showing the #CheerLights color by illuminating a Wales Crystal with a #raspi and #ledborg #blue

Using the #raspi, Graham from xmas4all.co.uk created a bookshelf with accent lighting. The color is tuned into the CheerLights feed and the results are a year-round display of the CheerLights color (colour that is…). The Project is built around a Raspberry Pi, Arduino Uno, 3 HEXFET mosfets and 5 meters of RGB 5050 LED colour ribbon.
Visit xmas4all.co.uk for more information about the project.

[Randy Farmer] constructed a giant CheerLights tree using strands of G35 Collr Effects Christmas lights. We found the project via Twitter. We love how big it is and how awesome it looks in the dark.
LED Holiday Wreath Connected to CheerLights [video]
[Dennis Adams] built a holiday wreath that displays animated color patterns and the latest CheerLights color. The build steps are on Sector67 with photos - it was great to see parts of the process and see the wreath come to life. The parts include addressable RGB Strip LEDs from Cool Neon (TCLPXL50), an Arduino, an Internet Gateway (laptop), and Ping-Pong balls!

CheerLights Nominated for Best DIY Internet of Things Project #IoT
The folks here at ioBridge Labs is really honored to have CheerLights be nominated by Postscapes for the Best DIY Internet of Things Project of 2012 - we didn’t even have to nominate ourselves, which makes it even sweeter! We are thankful to be included with many fine projects. We happen to think CheerLights is a shining example of the Internet of Things. CheerLights is a global network of socially connected lights. This ties a lot of technology together and at the end, it’s simple way to show that we are all connected.
If you would like to vote for CheerLights, you have a few days to go here and vote. Voting takes a few seconds, no registration is required. While you are there, check out the other projects and maybe you’ll be inspired to create next year’s big project.
