This compact WLED light box is designed for an ESP32-C3 board and a 12-LED WS2812B ring.
It’s a clean and minimal enclosure that diffuses the light beautifully through the top cap, creating a soft and colorful glow.
Perfect for use as a desk lamp, mood light, or notification indicator, it connects easily via USB-C and runs WLED firmware for full control over colors, effects, and animations.
