This is probably the coolest thing I have built with Adafruit electronics! When I viewed the learn guide describing the Floor Lamp with NeoPixels and WLED Custom Animations by Erin St Blaine I knew that I just had to build this work of art. I tend to like building things with wood, so my adaption of Erin's design for the most part replaces some elements with wood structures. I was pleasantly surprised with the results!
Many of the instructions that I provide below leverage Erin's design and construction. You will need to refer to Erin's learn guide frequently as you follow the instructions below.
