We're with the squad back at New York's hottest cyberpunk club, Near Field Commune(ication), and it's still got everything, Adabot & the Circuit Playground, Collin's wondrous, mind-blowing, heart-stirring Pulse Room, and more! And you are dressed to the cyber-nine's, with wearable LEDs, EL tape, a full set of glittering RFID/NFC Nail Stickers, and finishing off your ensemble with a pair of Diffraction Glasses.
Works best with point light sources like NeoPixels or individual non-diffused LEDs. It doesn't look as good with diffused LED sources!
These wayfarer glasses, made from durable cardstock, will transform every sparkle, splash, and twinkle of light into a cascade of prismatic delight. When light strikes the diffraction lens it spreads out into a spectrum, producing a rainbow for every single particle of light. Upgrade your experience of fireworks, NeoPixel light show, music festival, EDM party, what have you!
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- NeoPixel
- A type of addressable LED system where colour data is sent along a single digital data line from one LED or controller to the next. Compatibility matters because the timing and signal format must match for the lights or driver board to respond correctly.
