Easiest Way To Sync LED's With Music

     Don't know what a transistor is? Don't know how to code an Arduino? Don't worry! This instructable will show you how to tie LED fixtures to flash with the beat of your music. A few things to point out is that, based on this setup the lights will flash mostly to the bass line of the music. Is this the best way to go about flashing lights with music? No, it's relatively crude but it has lasted me a full year of use and only costed $40. 

     You will need:

-LED fixture from this link (and found at any autozone)

-Wire strippers

-Electrical tape (or shrink wrap tubing)

-A bass speaker you want to have the lights react with

Step 1 Buy the LED's

Like I said they can be found at autozone and look like this:

I haven't tried this with other LED's from autozone, but they should work because all of them are supposed to be regulated from a 12V DC source (aka a car battery)

Yes, it is amazing that sync LED to music is that simple.

The problem most often encountered is the volume. The LEDs will not "dance" without the volume be up loud. Loud being determined by what disrupts ones neighbors peace and quiet enjoyment of their "home space".
