TRIKLITS are a string of 24 color changing lights designed for
decorative lighting. There are 30 different lighting effects and many of
them allow adjustment of the speed, color, or brightness of the lights.
The mode is controlled from a small box attached to the end of the
string. Multiple light strings can be connected together for
synchronization of effects. In addition, the lights can be controlled
via an external interface jack connected to some type of computer or
control system.

Each light is made from a Red-Green-Blue LED mounted inside a plastic
ball. The amount of light from the red, green and blue LEDs are
controlled by microcontroller chips to form almost any color and
brightness of the rainbow. As these are LEDs, they are most visible in
dim or dark locations. They are not visible in outdoor daylight.
