Phlatlight Disco Ball Lighting

Before I start I gotta throw a shout out to Hak for putting this idea in my head, also bloom for the phlatlights.

The parts I used are....
Amico AC to DC 5V 6A Regulated Switching Power Supply Converter for LED Display
PT-54 Phlatlight Red
PT-54 Phlatlight Blue
Heatsink that comes from DTR when you buy one of his phlatlights
Fan from a PS2
Guitar pickup selector (Just ordered a 2P3T switch rated for 15A)
SPST Switch


I have the Phlatlights running in series when they are both on. The fan also has an on/off switch on it and it does a pretty good job at keeping them cool. When only 1 light is on it does get hot but I am only giving it limited run time like this because of the load on the guitar pickup selector... it's not made for 6A.

The coolest thing is it makes everything look like a 3D movie I haven't pulled out the red and blue glasses though lol

Here are some pictures and a quick video.

wowzers--nice job so far-

I was thinking about using all that Kasio-does,, the fan HS and the stock TEC-

if it ran with no rest in the Kasio why not on a club light--great start-

I have a big light thats dead- was thinking about a re-build with all red phaltlights.

it has two barrel mirrors that spin- needs work-
free from a dj that could not fix.

I would recommend collimating them so you can get spots at more than the foot or two shown here. This could be done with a standard flashlight reflector, a large magnifying glass, or a Fresnel sheet.

I would double the current on the PSU as well :eg:

Awesome. Love seeing projects like this.:beer:

IIRC there is a lens inside the PJ that does that for the red --

anyone wanting a red one just needs to place a WTB in the BS &T section

at Greed Bay most want a lot more than members here would ask-- especially Sir Jordan-- DTR has always given us super bargains--


being red these can certainly be called the 'LEDs from HELL'-
how many flashlight have you seen that will set paper afire??
