Twinkly Shows How Little Tiles of 64 ARGB Squares Can Make for Some Jaw-Dropping Wall Lighting

[btarunr]

Most PC peripheral companies betting big on addressable RGB lighting have shown off some room lighting products, but one of them that stand out for us is a lesser-known brand called Twinkly. Their device is a tiny 15 cm x 15 cm tile that has 64 squares, each with an addressable RGB LED. You daisy-chain several of these tiles as shown in the example below, and create some amazing wall-art that you can show off as a backdrop in your game stream. These tiles are controlled by a PC software that lets you program them whichever way you want them—cycle presets, work as ambient lighting, or even mirror your main display.

I have Twinkly string of icicle lights. Very neat product. Completely customizable.

Streamers are going to be crawling over one another to be the first to have this on their wall mirroring their display.

So I can make a display with only 32,400 of these - a 135' FHD screen! What more do I need for mirroring my main monitor?

without a price tag, its probably useless past certain sizes,
enough low cost large displays with UHD res that will look much better, and can double as an actual screen.

All this is is an 8x8 with 64 cheap (pennies) addressable LEDs inside. Guessing they charge mad money though. All you do is string them (addressable LEDs) together and it "just works". Yeah it's $250 for 6 squares (including "master" tile which is presumably the power brick), and $100 for 3 squares. So $3650 for what's pictured in the post.

If you wanted an entire 160x120 grid: $250 + 299*$100 = USD $30,150.
