Hi all,
I noticed that there is interest in my LED lamp with DIM function, so I would like to share it with you.
I made a LED tube with a smart dim function.
Well smart … I can dim by turning the tube.
This is often done faster than starting the app. 
Curious what it looks like? click here to see how flame intensity and height changes while turning and here to see DIM function.
I also made a switch at the top, so that I can choose from 3 settings (effect and / or color).
This option is made possible by the Advanced Macros that you can find under config and then sync settings.
I use a Satin tube acrylic light opal.
In fact I use 2 tubes, So that the individual LEDs are not visible.
I have built in a rotary encoder in the base of the lamp to be able to dim the LED strip by turning the outer tube.
To give you an impression of how I made the base, you can also have a look here.
And some renders I made:
In this example there are 3 small gears, because I thought it would be more stable in the tube, but that wasn’t necessary, so I only used 1 in the end.
I glued the large cog-wheel into the acrylic tube.
But these are renders. In reality it looks like this:
5.1 power plug + USB for Wemos or Arduino
Flange that secures gear is secured with bayonet type. (The gear / COG wheel should be glued in the tube)
Test if it all fits…Of course not immediately, so the 3d printer has worked overtime
end result after a lot of messing around and a few beers.
I later sanded the base and painted it black
For my Led project I used an inner tube for better diffuse light and it gives me the possibility to dim the led by turning the outer tube (which I connected to a decoder). But if you don’t need that, maybe one big tube is enough. (See also my other videos for the project).
By the way, I’ve glued 2 ledstrips with the backs together so I have nice all around light. (of course with insulation between them)
without rotary encoder, the base could look something like:
Sorry for the bad english … thanks to google translate
