Glow up your festival coat with programmable LEDs! ✨

In this DIY wearable tech tutorial, we’ll show you how to add addressable LED lighting to a faux-fur festival coat and control it wirelessly with WLED - a free, open source LED control program. The lights are sound reactive, smartphone controlled, and completely customizable — with tons of colors, animations, and effects to choose from.

This project is beginner-friendly and requires no coding. Set up different lighting zones so the cuffs and fur trim can run their own effects, giving the coat a much more dynamic look than a single LED strip.

Perfect for Burning Man, EDM festivals, concerts, costumes, nighttime events, or anywhere you want to be a little more visible — and a lot more glowy.

✨ In this project:
• Smartphone-controlled LEDs
• Sound-reactive effects
• Multiple lighting zones
• Custom colors and animations
• WLED control
• No coding required
• Beginner-friendly wearable electronics
