The Digital Light Wand is a programmable RGB LED Light strip that is used in Light Painting (long exposure) Photography. It is based
on the Arduino Mega board and the HL1606 RGB LED Light strip and was used to create the images shown here! No photoshop or computer trickery here! These photos are straight out of the Camera! :-)
