LED Painter lights up your walls with excess

While a spinning LED globe or an LED-adorned Roomba is all well and good for a few kicks, if you really want to turn your living room into a light show you may want to consider something like Brilldea's LED Painter system, which can apparently be put to use in a whole host of different applications, including the LED windows pictured above. At the heart of the system is a 16 channel RGB LED controller, which lets you connect up to 48 independent LEDs, and gives you the ability to daisy chain multiple boards together if you really want to blow things out. As you can see in the video after the break, the effects possible are fairly impressive, even if they're a bit lacking in the subtlety department.

I would prefer a Philips Living Colours lamp :)

Might be kinda cool to set something like that up behind the bottles in my bar shelves. :-\

I was actually thinking the same thing... I'm wondering how much it would cost to cover the wall behind the bottles though!? Anybody know the price tag on these?

Wake me up when you get past something they have been doing with florescent tubes and/or neon for oh say the past 50 years or more.
