I’m hopeful that the enduring legacy of Tron: Legacy will not, so much, be the meh-OK movie itself, but a sweeping wave of physical Tronification that leaves our world decidedly more awesome than it was before. And Becky Stern is leading the charge. This project video, her first since taking up a new job at adafruit, shows how to electrically connect, and physically attach, EL accent wire to a sectional sofa. It recalls the Tron Bag project she co-authored with Limor Fried back in December 2010. Nice one, Becky! Keep ‘em coming!











Thanks for posting, Sean!

It is risky to put those lights on your couch due to the fact that some day they might die out.
