I had the idea to tune it with some RGB lights.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAll the supplies I used:\r\n|Parts list|\r\n|--|\r\n|Fire light|\r\n|12V 2A power supply|\r\n|Barrel jack socket|\r\n|Buck converter|\r\n|12V ledstrip WS2811S 1 meter (39 3/8 Inch)|\r\n|Wemos D1 Mini ESP8266|\r\n|0.5A 30V Polyfuse|\r\n|100n capacitator|\r\n|SN74AHCT125N quadruple 3-state buffers|\r\n|IRLML2502 logic-level power MOSFET 20V 3.6A|\r\n\r\n![](firelight.jpg)\r\n\r\n![](powersupply-and-connector.jpg)\r\n\r\n\r\n![](buckconverter.jpg)\r\n\r\n\r\n![](ledstrip.jpg)\r\n\r\n\r\n![](esp8266.jpg)\r\n\r\nFirst I removed all of the old electronics.\r\n![](firelight-empty.jpg)\r\n\r\nSet the buck converter module output to 5V.\r\n\r\nConnect the new electronics according to the schematic.\r\n![](Kicad/RGB-LED-Fire-Exit-schematic.png)\r\n\r\nDrill a hole in the shell of the fire exit and mount the barrel jack connector. Solder the polyfuse to the center pin of the barrel jack connector.\r\n![](mount-barrel-jack.jpg)\r\n\r\nSolder every part on a PCB according to the schematic.\r\n\r\nInstall the [Wled firmware](https://kno.wled.ge/) to the ESP8266.\r\n\r\nConfigure the Wled for the ledstrip the data output is D4. My ledstrip is 20 leds in a configuration of 5x4. My color setup is BRG.\r\n\r\nMaximum PSU current 500mA.\r\n\r\nRelay GPIO: 15, invert on.\r\n\r\nThis should be the result:\r\n![](firelight-finished.jpg)\r\n\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fslush-code%2Frgb-led-fire-exit-light","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fslush-code%2Frgb-led-fire-exit-light","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fslush-code%2Frgb-led-fire-exit-light/lists"}
