MAKE: Creating a Global Network of Christmas Lights

Posted on December 5, 2011October 28, 2026 By Hans Scharler No Comments on MAKE: Creating a Global Network of Christmas Lights

The CheerLights color is now set on Discord. This post is from when anyone could tweet a color to CheerLights. Today, use the /cheerlights command on the CheerLights Discord, and see the Learn page for the current API.

[Matt Richardson] of MAKE wrote a post about CheerLights. Matt says, “I feel like I’m wielding incredible power right now!” as he tweets, “@CheerLights It’s not easy being green, amiright?” Then the whole network of CheerLights switched to green.

@CheerLights It's not easy being green, amiright?

Thanks, Matt!
