PixelBall

An orb lamp powered by ESP8266 and WS2811/WS2812

//Look into my pixel ball...//

Introduction

I purchased a cheap light fitting/cover from the Op-Shop for a dollar or two and thought I'd turn it into a bedside lamp. The light fitting is a simple orb, reminiscent of a crystal ball (hence the name pixelball).

Lighting

Lighting will be provided by a SMD 5050 RGB LED, driven by a WS2811 (or WS2812B these days). I have single modules of this already, having purchased a bag from eBay for maybe $5. They are nice and small and you can get the same thing for $0.11 - $0.12 by cutting up a strip, like one from this eBay seller (60leds/m, non-waterproof, 50cm, white PCB).
