DIY LED Stage Lights

Stage lights have progressed from the traditional incandescent bulbs, and manufacturers of stage lights are now offering a selection that includes the LED variety. Aside from the lower energy costs associated with using LED stage lights, they are likely to last far longer than incandescent bulbs. Also LEDs are available in a rainbow of colors, and multiple LEDs of different colors can be combined to create other colors. For those who desire portability, LED stage lights can be transported without the fear of having to replace a bulb broken while in transport.
