rite lads, i need your help.

i need a sound to light unit and cant find one anywhere. i have 100 LEDs (20mA each) so i need one that will handle about 5 amps really.

i want to have these LEDs pulse according to the base, but i need one of these sound to light units to do it and am stuck. have tried Maplins and Halfords with no joy.

any helps or offers welcome, i need something by saturday!

that little control box should be what i am after. i can only hope that it will take the current of all the LEDs i gonna try and put through it.

stay tuned for pics of the 100 SB Green LEDs and the control unit in action.

p.s - thanx Shadowake for the help in finding the unit, would be stuck without you!

not to worry, that unit didnt work anyway, it outputs AC, which is what neons run off.

was hoping the converter would be in the neon and the sound to light in the box, but not so

well i'll have to keep looking and see what i can find, though i do still have the 100 LEDs wired in and it looks cool. if it stops raining i will get pics.
