What's some good, weird, trippy home lighting units, maybe that syncs to the music that person could use to drone out to?

Those multi-function Xmas lights are really great.

My friend through together a pretty cool light rig using an arduino and some led strips. Has rate and intensity knobs and a couple colors. Might be worth looking into for future adaptability if you get more into the programming of it

I use a Blisslight 15 Green.
The blue and green shift and spin.
It's instrumental in setting my droning mood!

Find and old plasma lamp from the 80s. I have one that has a control that is noise sensitive. Had it since the 80s too. Could sit and stare at it for ages. But I am attracted to bright shiny things

I just built a dream machine like this. It's pretty much the best thing ever. Brion Gysin created it. You stare into it with your eyes closed while it flickers over your eyelids at alpha-brainwave frequency, and you start to see the most incredible patterns. You could lose yourself in it for hours. It's like drugs without drugs (but it's even better
with drugs).
Here's a documentary about it.

Failing that, Mathmos Space Lamp, and some Lava Lamps.

I had something similar I bought back at Lollapaloza 1994 called the LSD Flight Simulator. You get stoned, and use it outside pointed at the sun with your eyes closed. Heaven!

Yeah I saw this the other night. Does this cover the entire room? I was actually interested in the one below called the Blisslight Cloudfield from the same company. My concern is that it says it works best at 40 feet away, and the smaller the distance from projector to ceiling (or whatever you project it on) the smaller the area it covers. So I wasn't sure how well it was going to work in a relatively small room. Any insight is appreciated.

I wouldn't consider a strobe light conducive for gazing or droning...
I've always wanted this:

I used to have an old school strobe light and it was fucking perfect for droning dude. I thought at least. You could vary the speed and it was so fucking tripped out.
I guess I'm not that familiar with gazing though or really drone. I mean, I'm familiar with it, but not.
I just like strobe lights god damn it. Especially when you can change the colors of them. UGH soo cool.

I haven't tried it in a bigger room, but my current practice space is roughly 12'x16' and I place it against the back wall.
It has almost 180 degree dispersion. Probably the only thing negative about the smaller space is that the lasers don't have room to spread out, and you can't look anywhere without catching a laser to the eye.
It doesn't bother me though, as I face away when I play. Most of the times, I just turn off the blue led light and just let the lasers go. With it slightly smoky from incense, it lights up the whole room.

Cool, any chance of a wide angle pic or vid so I can see how much it covers? The light is $395 so I would like to be sure it is what I am looking for before I spend that kinda money. If not, no worries I completely understand.
