Toon Beerten, a guy with some LED experience, has put together an amazing 3 watt LED mood light pretty much from scratch. The device actually plugs into a wall socket, while his previous lamps have run off batteries. Using batteries actually significantly reduces the overall efficiency of any electronic device, so I like this one for that.
I also like it because it's really well done. He's programmed the LEDs to fade between colors, or go through a variety of transitions that he can control with an input. If I went over to his house, I'd probably assume he bought it from Target for fifty bucks.
Definitely a worthwhile project.

After seeing this lamp, I made something similar and a little more versatile (I think!). Check it out. I am planning on adding data input, but that's under construction and I wanted to get the lighting part done first.

Then you could sync some moods to some types of music, flash it in red when you got mail, in green when there's a news on Ecogeek, etc... ;)
If anyone got the schematics... ? ;)
