Building chasing airport lights -- Attn: Jim Weir?

So, how many lights and what kind of sequence. I'll send you the parts
for free
and instructions to go with them. I'll do it for a free beer at Oshkosh.

Well, after further consideration, we've decided to run TWO rows of LEDs
down the hall leading from the "wrong" door to the lobby front desk area.
This is a distance of about 30 feet. (The center ceiling panel sections are
being replaced with faux pounded-tin-look panels, leaving the original
little "half" panels on either side -- which would work perfectly for these
lights.)

Figuring one light every couple of feet, I suppose we'd need 15 per side, so
30 total? They'd need to be sequenced so that they "chase" properly, both
rows together. And I'll need to wire this into a motion sensor of some
sort, so it's not running 24/7...

This is so crazy, I think it will be GREAT. :-)

Tell you what : Help me make this goofy idea work, and I'll throw in your
night's stay for the 2nd Annual Oshkosh Pool Party!

Something is getting et, that's for sure. I didn't see your ORIGINAL
post, so I
can only infer from the answers you are getting that you want some sort of
miniaturized "find the runway" strobe system (rabbit). How many lights?
LEDs
would be find; white ones are down to a couple of bucks in onesies these
days
and those suckers are BRIGHT.

One wall wart power supply, one small piece of CMOS (simple counter) and
your
lights. Even YOU could do this, Jay.

- I just told them how to do it. Somebody said they can follow my plans
and
-they
- can do it.
-
- And you give THEM a free room?

-Hmmm. I've checked and re-checked the thread, and all I see here is
Tom's

-Did my ISP eat your post, Jim?
