Hi,
I'm a complete noob but I like to learn in trial by fire.
So I got the idea to turn an old IKEA lamp from traditional lights to LED's.
It's this one:
It's 36 lights.
So I decided to buy 36 RGB LED's and a bunch of resistors.
The problem that some of the kind souls around this forum can help me with is the diagram to make this a reality.
I seen some videos with a single rgb led connected to an Ardoino board to controle the lights.
There are also controllers for RGB led strips, can I use that instead?
I was also thinking of using the power source from the lamp itself. It has an output oh 11.5V and 70W max.
I used this array wizard for each color but I'm not sure if this is the right way to go forward with it since their RGB led's and not the traditional one color 1 led design. And also I have no idea about the best way to controle the lights.
Any help would be so very helpful.
