Aurora Lighting LED Markers

If you're decorating a child's bedroom, why limit yourself to regular old light fittings? Why not make something interesting?Please note: this LED kit is no longer available at Sparks; however, you can find a wide range of LED markers on our website. With Cielo Stellato LED kit you can create a fancy starry sky in your child's bedroom... In the picture: general starfield sky in a child's bedroom, not created with our fittings. "Cielo Stellato" translates into Italian as "starry sky" and that's exactly what these lights are great for: creating a starfield on the ceiling.The Perfect Way to Create a Unique CeilingSure, you could use glow-in-the-dark stickers on the ceiling, but that doesn't look quite right. Stickers aren't that bright, after all, and stars aren't green. Fibre optics are another option - but installing such a fitting is complicated and difficult. Or you could use an optical projector, like a real astronomer. That would look great, but that's probably the most expensive item you could install in a child's bedroom. These small LED lights are ideal for the purpose. They're easy to set up, fully dimmable, and available in several colors. Because the Cielo Stellato LED kit is made of small LEDs that slot into standard ceiling panels, less space is used as well as less energy. These lights don't require a hassle to install. Plus, once they're installed they won't need to be maintained or taken out for some years: they have an estimated lifespan of 30,000 hours. Why Not Expand Your Vision? And if you were really ambitious, you could install a round ceiling light to make the moon, and you could also make some constellations like Orion or the Big Dipper. What if you hung some tiny spaceships from the ceiling, too? Every night there would be a show. Imagine it: a space opera, every night, so close you could almost touch it. We are a little jealous of the kids' room, and we haven't even begun work on the starry ceiling. The Cielo Stellato is made for this purpose, but it can't just be limited to decorating a child's bedroom - where else could we use these lights? Let us know in the comments.LED Markers at Sparks

Are you sick of seeing the same Hallowe'en decorations every year? No, us neither. But we think they sometimes look outdated. Old-fashioned, even. We can upgrade a few of them with readily-available technology. Now, to be fair, a Jack-O-Lantern is traditional. But it's still due for an update; carving out a face and inserting a tealight into the hollow squash just isn't going to cut it any more. Modern Alternatives to Jack-O-Lantern? The more modern alternative is - what else? - a tiny lightbulb. This Aurora LED marker light is perfect for the purpose, with a small 1 metre cable to illuminate a terrifying Jack-O-Lantern's face with eerie white or cool blue light. Or, for the more technologically-inclined, there's the option to upgrade that pumpkin for some 21st Century scares. Instructables author noelportugal hid a motion detector in his Jack-O-Lantern and rigged it up to a huge plastic spider so that it would drop on the heads of his visitors. We can't wholeheartedly suggest you do this - spiders... are not loved by everyone - but all you would need is one of our many motion detectors, a robust computer processor, and a slightly mean sense of humour. Any Technical Projects this Hallowe'en? There's still time to take on a technical project in time for Halloween, but in case you find yourself strapped for time remember that almost anything is scary when it's backlit. Even a balloon with a face on it will do the trick if it's a spooky colour, and if the face is particularly horrifying.Just fit a coloured bulb into a wall light like this flexible, low voltage Microlux offering. We'd really like to hear your ideas, too! Or at least a good ghost story.Marker LED Lights at Sparks
