How to do "Ceiling" LEDs?

[lgreen]

My alarm clock shows the time on my ceiling using some kind of laser or LED.

How do I get my DIY amp to project a VU meter up there? Any parts to try?

Hi,
The Instructables web page has one How to build a clock that projects time on the wall
You might get some ideas from this

There are LED optics (internal reflectors) made for the 1W/3W star-mounted LEDS. I've considered putting a row of 1W stars on a curved mount and letting them project on the wall or ceiling. The 1W stars are pretty cheap if you buy them on eBay. Or, you could just use magnifying glasses (convex lenses). They'd be trickier to mount, but should give a tighter focus; the LED optics are intended for lighting applications, so they tend to give wide, uniform beams, not a tight spot.
