This week I made this backlit mood light using RGB Leds for my work desk. What's special about this is that it shifts the Rainbow colours from one end to the other. Where as the other RGB Leds would just fade in and fade out the colours. I have used about 40 RGB Leds to create this pattern. And you can see during the night how beautiful it illuminates the room.
