This is a SMD-version of the Fnordlicht by FD0. The Fnordlicht is a RGB-Light which kann light in all colors by mixing the base-colors red, green and blue. This can be done by a program running on the Fnordlicht itself, or controlled from a PC.

SMT are surface mounted devices: Parts that are fixed on top of the PCB instead of having wires that are plugged through the pcb and soldered below it. Most of the time, they are smaller and not as easily manageable as their wired counterparts.

The original Fnordlicht was quite large (5 * 5 * 5 cm), but I wanted to have something that I could mount to the ceiling unobtrusively. So I developed the Fnordleiste, which is (with a breadth of 16.5mm) designed to fit inside a aluminium square tube of 20 mm.

Differently to the Original-Fnordlicht, the Fnordleiste has some additional features:
