I am putting a mountain feature wall in my son’s new bedroom.

Starting on the right, I want to run LEDs along the topmost mountains, switch to unlit cord/wire to go around the window, and then run another set of LEDs along the topmost mountain on the left. This should give a nice sunrise effect.

Do you know of an LED kit that can do this?

Thank you!

    Most of those led strips you get in rolls can be cut at any location and then reconnected. A microcontroller is a great idea like the other user suggested. The ESP32 rocks and is also a favorite of mine but I’d also suggest Particle Argon.

    You have to use their ecosystem with it but connecting to it is done for you through their website IDE. It’s very beginner friendly but an esp32 is also quite easy to work with, the esp32 is cheaper as well.

    If you get an RGB strip using a microcontroller, you can dynamically change the light depending on the time/weather using one of the free weather APIs, just a thought.
