Awesome work VS!! :w00t: :thumbsup:

Do they go brighter as you turn the volume up? One would think so because you're increasing the voltage. Also, do they pulse to the beat? - I know speakers demand more power with the beat.

All it needs now is a lighted tuner window! :super:

:agree:
The LEDs are pulsing to the beat. :thumbsup:
At 1/3 volume they comes up, then the brightness is quite similar.

Lighted tuner window?
Stay tuned. :lol:

Just done the next box, the PHILIPS bolt.
It will get some lights... ;-)

Way too awesome... I know for sure that one of my boomboxes is going to go under the knife soon because of this. Scalpel?

Ordered myself a few LEDs this week. Blue, red, white, rainbow, RGB and UV. They arrived today so hopefully I'll soon have a go at this :-)
