I’ve had good results with a DIY version of a hypnogogic light.

I used one of these at a psychedelic science conference in SF but they wanted $25k to buy it. So I set out to build an open-source version for under $100.

The LSD (Light Stimulation Device) can be built for under $50 and is being used for therapy, relaxation and inducing psychedelic like experiences.

Current version is made with ski googles, lith ion USB rechargable battery, Arduino with Bluetooth and can pair with a terminal program on IPhone.

The whole project is on GitHub and can be found here:

Thanks for the link. Always been curious to try one of these devices, I can actually afford to now.

You can build a basic one really cheap!

The software could use some help as it’s just a few basic sequences now.

Next phase would be a nice iPhone app that you can program sequences with.

I’d also like to sync with an EEG headband so you can adjust based on current brain wave state.

Please send me a photo of your build!

Will do! I would like to add, it would be kind of nice if you added a picture of yours to either your site or the github repo. I can see the premade ones and get an idea of what's going on but it would be nice to see a fully built one.

Someone was going to do a mini-doc about the project and we were going to do a full how to video as part of it but then... COVID killed the video star.

Yeah I need to push some updates and the newest code and parts list.
