+There are lots of weird cheap DMX lighting fixtures available from ebay/aliexpress. They're nowhere near suitable for any kind of "real" lighting, but for making the lab pretty/impressive they're worth a punt.

+==== DIY ====
+We're hackers, we've made pretty lights before, we can make pretty lights again!

 This is not an insignificant amount of complexity - I would assume it would end up including some sort of DSL for creating complex architectural lighting cues, as well as maybe some form of web interface/etc.
+For the sake of simplicity, I think that cues fired from the sACN Relay Engine Controller Thing directly should mostly be intensity only, or intensity+basic colour effects (to replicate the existing control we have over the G1 LED strip).
