 This article is about the LED light installation in my room.
 LED strips, and ATX power supply, and a custom board are used.
+The brightness of the strips can be controlled using a remote.
+Different colour temperatures allow different ambiance.
+This project is covered in [[https://www.cuvoodoo.info/?post_type=podcast&p=95|episode #008]].

+======= ATX ======
+A 4.7Ω power resistor is used to draw power on the 5 V rail.
+This improves the 12 V rail.
+The ATX [[http://www.formfactors.org/developer%5Cspecs%5CPower_Supply_Design_Guide_Desktop_Platform_Rev_1_2.pdf|Power Supply Design Guide for Desktop Platform Form Factors]] ({{led_light_controller:atx_psdg_v1.2.pdf|archive}}) shows the relation between the load of these two rails.
+And testing it {{led_light_controller:power_measurement.ods|confirms it}}.

+======= colours ======
+The LED strips allow the brightness of the light to be spread over the room, removing central points from light bulbs.
+I used LED strips with different colour temperatures:
+  * cold (blueish) white above the work bench
+  * plain white in the centre
+  * warm (yellowish) white above the sofa

+{{led_light_controller:colors.svg?450px|}}
+This allow me the change the ambiance:
+  * cold to concentrate
+  * mixed for general purpose
+  * warm and dim when relaxing
+These modes are set in the firmware and switched between using the remote.
