Rain Lights

Taiwan, being the number one producer of LED lights in the world has been using LEDs in ways that I haven't seen in the US. When we first came from Japan to Taiwan in early December, on the way from the airport to Taipei there were just blocks and blocks of trees covered with "Rain Lights". At night they look better but here they are in action.

They're are a strip of LEDs where the power is supplied in a sequence that makes them light in descending order.
They were used at the Christmas decorations around the Taipei 101 building.

And the best use of them that I saw was a the Lan Yang Museum in Ilan.
The museum was really modern with lots of interactive visuals.

  1. I wonder how long it will take for these lights to catch on here!
