Redesigned base to fit Adafruit neopixel 16 bit ring https://www.adafruit.com/product/1463 and trinket mini controller https://www.adafruit.com/product/1501
Scaled up mid section and top to fit the new base.
Plug it into your usb port.
Use the “Strand Test” Arduino code from Adafruit to drive the neopixels

Created a “Standalone base” so you don’t have to plug it into a USB port. Pick the base that you prefer. Uses a pushbutton toggel switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KJHR3W6?psc=1 to turn it on and off. All components are glued in with hot glue.

Added an LED holder. Glue this into the bottom of the top item of the lighthouse. You can glue a 5 mm LED into it and run a wire down the center of the tower. Attach it to a PWM pin on the Trinket ( I used pin #0) and use the code I provide to blink ( and fade) the LED.
