  8x ~1m bars with ~120 neopixels on them. I was planning to hang these off the diagonal wires lighting up into the roof of the tent. 4 might be enough for that - would then have 4 to use elsewhere. Could easily make more of these.   8x ~1m bars with ~120 neopixels on them.

- A bunch of bottles and jars with neopixels in them. Some painted to be diffused glowing bottle/jar ([[https://photos.app.goo.gl/wjnknUxgMLBcYCdAA]]) and some left clear with mess of neopixels on enameled wire. Not sure how much use these would be for the tent - they mostly need a flat surface to sit on. Some of the plastic bottles could probably be hung from the tent. Biggest of these have 100 neopixels in them, which would be 30W at max but there is no way the thin wire in the strings can handle the 6A needed for that. Best case it'll offer enough resistance to limit the current and not catch fire or melt, but I wouldn't want to rely on that. I have run those ones with 2A limit in WLED and that seemed fine - air inside the bottles got to ~15 degrees above ambient which should be fine. + A bunch of bottles and jars with neopixels in them.

  There should be some 12V RGB not individually addressable bars as well but I could only find the ones hanging from the roof at 57N when looking for them before campGND. I think there should be another 3 somewhere. Have some P9813 controller boards for them. I think the board controlling the ones on the roof in 57N was made at last CCCCamp so would be nice to see it going back with some bars to control.    There should be some 12V RGB not individually addressable bars as well but I could only find the ones hanging from the roof at 57N when looking for them before campGND.

 Could power/control some strings of them with same approach as for neopixel bars. Could power/control some strings of them with same approach as for neopixel bars.
