Sometimes a flashlight just isn’t enough. The Flying Sun 1000 drone system was designed with that fact in mind, as it uses 288 airborne LEDs to light up the night like the alien mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

    What a tease. People are going to think a UFO is finally there to save them from this apocalyptic hellscape.

      Thank you, I was about to click in to see what the batteries fits something like this were. 288 leds is a kinda common per meter count for LED tape. But powering them takes a lot of watts.
