This LED lamp is a quick project that can be done within a day. Only a few cheap components are needed to create a nice looking ambient lamp. No programming is needed, only the WLED firmware is uploaded to a micro controller via a simple tool. A 3D-Printed version simplifies the build process a lot but the cardboard version is also quickly made and can be made huge in size.
WLED is open source and provides many IoT interfaced including a web front end and an app that allows to control all the lamps in the local WIFI.
