Better lights and video description

On a recent trip to the hardware store I stumbled across a cheap RGB lamp with a diffuser plastic that did a very good job. I got it and immediately gutted it to replace the innards with 4 strips of addressable LEDs.
Donor lamp case with new LEDs inside. Original PCB below
The updated look does not disappoint
Gamma spectrum of Th-232 shown in color!
