I used "thermoplastic" (well, it's hot glue indeed) and ping pong balls together to have a good result in my quite old CCCP instructable: https://www.instructables.com/id/CCCP-Christmas-Color-Change-Ping-pong-lights/

Hi, may I use a D1 mini board from wemos? https://wiki.wemos.cc/products:d1:d1_miniIt exposes d1 ... d8 mcu lines so I should be able to wire it correctly to the LED module.Thanks

Really like this project. I always wanted to do one like this. Recently have bought some strips with new kind of "addressable" leds SK6812, very similar to WS2812 that is RGB but also available with "W-WW-A" combination (read White-WarmWhite-Amber) that can mimic a wide spectrum of natural light.You don't really need to "address" every single led, but the advantage is that the control line for white shade and luminosity is just one, so that the versatile ESP8266 can master the whole thing easily. (unfortunately these strips work at 5V, so you need more amps to achieve the some luminosity)Also there are sketches for ESP8266 that use its embedded Access Point feature and expose a simple html page with various controls.
