“Black Friday”?
Myself, I’m against consumption-as-entertainment, but I do buy things and when I do, I’d rather not give more money to a big company than I have to. SO if you find any good deals that might be relevant to the FastLED, please feel free to share them here – especially if they’re online and/or available worldwide. We’ve got quite an international community here!

5-port USB power adapter, 2 amps per port (up to 8A total), normally US$26, now US$19 with code BFDEALS5 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GTGETFG/
I can’t tell you how many things I have powered off of USB on my workbench right now, but that might just be because of the cable mess.

BlinkinLabs is offering 15% off their BlinkyTape and Blinky Xmas Lights with code CM5CJ5HI1LFA.

Each is driven by a truly tiny and unobtrusive ATmega32u4 (“Leonardo”) -based board. Power is 5v, and comes in via a convenient USB connector. Easy to plug into the wall with a phone charger adapter; easy to run from batteries if you prefer. I really like the tiny, inline form factor. (And of course, like all great products, these MCUs and lights run FastLED!)
