How to Make Fireworks out of LED Lights

Fireworks explode in the air and form patterns of light that last only momentarily. Use LED lights to imitate a pattern of light that a firework can make when it goes off in the sky. The LEDs must be arranged so that they radiate outward in order to approximate the visual effect of the explosion. Colored LEDs will make the effect more impressive and lifelike. The LEDs and the other supplies needed can be acquired from a hardware store.

Instructions
1
Rake a section of your backyard free of dirt and other contaminants. Place the end of the red LED light panel strip at the center of the section that has been freed of dirt and other contaminants. Run the other end of the strip in a clockwise pattern to form a circle.

2
Measure out 10 inches from a side of the red LED ring. Place the end of the blue LED light panel strip at this point. Run the other end of the strip around the red circle in a clockwise pattern to form a circle.



Measure 10 inches out from a side of the blue LED ring and repeat the procedure just completed with a white LED light panel strip.

4
Plug the power cord at the end of the red strip into an extension cord. Insert the plug at the other end of the extension cord into one of the sockets on a power strip that has a rocker switch. Repeat this procedure with the blue and white strip’s power cords, two extension cords and two power strips. Plug the power strips into outlets for power.

5
Stand your spectators where they can look toward the ground where the LED strips are located. Let it get dark so that the ground can no longer be seen.

6
Flip the switch on the power strip that is attached to the red LED circle. Let the LEDs illuminate for three seconds. Flip the switch again to turn off the red LEDs as you flip the switch on the power strip that is connected to the blue LED circle. Let the blue LEDs illuminate for six seconds.

7
Flip the switch to turn off the blue LEDs as you flip the switch on the power strip that is connected to the white LED circle. Let the white LEDs illuminate for 10 seconds. Flip the switch again to turn off the white LEDs. Repeat the procedure, only varying the time of each circle of LEDs to simulate the effect of fireworks going off.



Tips & Warnings

Add sound effects to make the "fireworks" appear more realistic to those watching.
You can hang the LEDs to make it appear as if the fireworks are going off in the sky.
Jagged circles will look better than smooth ones for the firework effect.
Do not use indoor extension cords; only use those that are rated for outdoor use.
