Coordinated wearable lighting system
First Claim
1. A coordinated lighting system capable of affixation to a wearable garment, the system comprising:
- a controller, a mobile device; and
a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) arranged in a daisy chain arrangement, wherein each of the LEDs is selectively removable and selectively rearrangeable relative to the wearable garment, and at least one of the plurality of LEDs is operatively connected to the controller;
wherein the mobile device is configured to output one or more audio signals;
wherein the controller is configured to;
(a) receive the one or more audio signals as an input;
(b) auto-detect (i) a quantity of the plurality of LEDs and (ii) an arrangement of the plurality of LEDs; and
(c) generate one or more lighting instructions based on the quantity of the plurality of LEDs and the arrangement of the plurality of LEDs;
wherein the one or more lighting instructions are generated based on the received one or more audio signals;
wherein the plurality of LEDs are connected to one another to form the daisy chain arrangement such that an output of one LED is connected to an input of an adjacent LED in the daisy chain arrangement to permit a signal to be sent from the controller to one LED to another LED along the daisy chain arrangement.
