Technology Connections explains why narrowband LED holiday lights look harsh compared to incandescent bulbs and experiments with filtering white LEDs to improve them.
You can support this channel on Patreon! Link below How could I forget about the hmm-hmm light experiments? And/or; holy hard drives it’s already Decemberween? My how the year has passed in a flash. Just like these lights! HA! Yeah, so here’s the thing--I owed you this video. And honestly, the results were great! I have some more work to do (assuming no one listens to my plea toward the end) but now I know that what I want is at least vaguely possible. Technology Connections 2 (my second channel where I upload weird stuff from time to time) youtube.com/channel/UClRwC5Vc8HrB6vGx6Ti-lhA Oh--and a music credit! The closing music was "We Wish You a Merry Christmas (Instrumental Jazz)" by E's Jammy Jams. You can get it for free--right now!--from the YouTube Audio Library. And here's a secret--my normal outtro song? It's from there, too. Just search "Floaters" and you'll find it. Don't tell anyone. You can support this channel on Patreon! It has been amazing what Patreon has done for this channel, but also for me (your dorky host) personally.
