For LED builds, these are way warmer than standard LED bulbs. And you can choose to make them quiet red if you like (though not quite fully red).

Let me show you the app for colour selection of these bulbs:

The Hue coloured LED strips are handy if you'd like a p0rn star bed like mine...

I've yet to figure out how to automate it to movement. An X-Y mercury switch slaved to a Raspberry Pi maybe?

You need to seek specialist help.

And not from a lighting engineer.

You're just jealous. :(

An X-Y mercury switch slaved to a Raspberry Pi maybe?

Raspberry Pi with an accelerometer so you can calibrate it appropriately: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2019

What are the two straps at the foot end for? They look like something would attach there.

And why do you want them to change with movement? What kind of movement are we talking about?

Each room currently has a cheap pair of satellite speakers (around £30),

Don't suppose you have a link to them/similar?

You got me with the casually strewn vintage copy of Professional Heating and Plumbing. I'd know Mr April 1998 anywhere.

Plenty of hue apps for Android that use phone hardware to react to movement...

Now all he needs is a reliable way to strap it to his arse.

I'd like to see some report of when things were turned on

You could've cured cancer by now if you weren't wasting your life deciding if 3500K was too bright...

It's a Ottoman bed. Straps are to lift it.

Not handcuff points...

Leisure Suit Larry?

Showing your age chubster. :D

Damn.

Sussed.

Showing your age chubster. :D

Apart from his tonnage, hippy's not normally too coy about his age. :)

My first computer was monochrome with 1MB RAM.

Show off. My first had 64Kb.

1MB? Hahahaha.

Mine had 32k of RAM. But it did have colours.

Mine had 1 KB and 4 whole KBs of ROM.

My old man was a late adopter (read: tightarse) so if the school had a computer, why did we need one at home? How long did you have it for though?

Colours?! I'd have given you my RAM for colours!

That’s not news to me.

No idea. It was a hand me down from a family friend though, so not current when we had it. At a guess, based on the fact it was the machine I started to learn to code on, it was roughly 1986 when I was 5. Probably had it for two or three years I would have thought

A strange confluence of memories is the fact I was writing a simple program to teach kids their times tables when Greg Louganis hit his head on the diving board in 1988. That supports my memory of two years or so...
