Rainbow Light Show Enclosure

I saw this Rainbow Light Show kit on the Adafruit web site ( https://www.adafruit.com/products/2602 ) and thought it looked really cool. The lights shift down the strip marquee style, and you control the color and brightness by moving your hands over IR sensors. It's kinetic art and lots of fun.

After I built it I knew my 4 year old niece would love playing with it. But the base, although nicely designed, was not going to be robust enough for a 4 year old. So I modeled a sturdier one.

I also traded out the 16 LED strip it came with for a 60 LED strip, also from Adafruit ( https://www.adafruit.com/products/1461 ). Simply remove the original strip and connect the longer one. No configuration needed.

The static pictures don't do the LED's justice; they are extremely intense even in a bright room. I shot a short video of the Rainbow in action - https://youtu.be/KHkgz6m1gns
