Does anyone know anything about LEDs and LED controllers? I have a shoot coming up and I'm interested in using 2 strips, each one about 6 feet long. to create a "sci-fi" scene. Ideally I could purchase a small kit that would have a controller as well.
Thanks!

check out http://www.makezine.com/
lots of little LED based projects on there

I bought some for cove lighting in my place, but they do not change color (they come in different colors).
Got 'em here: http://www.noveltylights.com/
They just plugin to a regular wall socket. I think they came in 8' segments.
Using these in a building we are designing/building for cover lighting in the ceiling and kitchen island. Great stuff, not too expensive.Not as snazzy as what you are looking for, I'd guess, but maybe they have something.

i usually get my leds from http://www.ledshoppe.com/ or http://www.superbrightleds.com/. in terms of a controller, that thing would be easy to build with even the most basic electronics knowledge. but if you need a kit solution, you can usually find things like that at sparkfun http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce…. be sure to get 360º visibility leds, preferably with a diffusive glow.

check out sparkfun for sure... but make sure you know a geek that can solder and program with the arduino hardware/software
its easy stuff if you have an electrical engineering degree, for creatives like me you might have to burn thru a few capacitors and LED's before you get it right. but its cheap to put together and there is a lot of control available if you build it yourself as opposed to buying off the shelf parts.
