RGB night lamp


  • Mod

    My niece and I made a night light based on a halloween-themed candy jar. Color and brightness can be controlled by a mobile app. The app also has a "party mode".

    RGB night light (esp32, BLE-controlled from mobile using Blynk) – 00:20

    The app looks like this:

    Hardware-wise, we used:

    • plastic skull with candy (eating the candy was a tough job, but someone had to do it)
    • esp32
    • rgb led strip
    • capacitor

    We put some fluffy cotton inside the skull to diffuse the light.

    Looks awesome. Might be fun to put it outside before your front door on 31th October. Still have a Halloween project on my ever growing bucketlist xd

    Blynk is awesome for controlling Halloween projects.
