the original location of the bulbs will be cut out the same shape as the fountain and I will make aThanks for the extremely quick Reply.Ok, so you want a bunch of LEDs to light up in sequence to "animate" the fountain?
Firstly, how many LEDs will there be? Are you re-using the original lamp locations, or adding a bunch more?
Secondly, what colour are the LEDs? Did you already acquire them? If they are white, are they cool white or warm white? Most vendors will supply cool white if you ask for white, but probably warm white would look better as they are more reminiscent of the original incandescent bulbs.
Thirdly, are you using a Pi for this? It's overkill really, when a microcontroller such as Arduino or Pi Pico would be cheaper, and more applicable to such a simple task. Even a couple of shift registers would let you make some shimmering effect.
Finally, what sort of pattern do you want? Some regular "chasing" light effect? A shimmer? Several effects that change over time?
Sorry to bombard you with questions, but to give you what you want it is necessary for you to describe what you want, what you have, and what restrictions there are. However, I'd say that what you want is possible, and fairly easy to achieve.
no set amount of Leds .... advice needed on colours and amounts I have some blue red green and white...
original bulbs will be binned
I already have a Pi 3 just sitting in a drawer the rest after... Thirdly... Im lost Lol
final question pattern I would leave to who ever helps me and thinks what would look best
the fountain is approx 250mm from the bottom of base... the top spout is 40 mm wide and 150 long... and the base is 140..
wide going to 80mm before the bottom of top spout and 100mm high if thats needed
bacolite board to sit in its place
