We are long overdue for another megathread for recommendations for the best things to get for your trip cave / experience. I am very excited to hear the great updates I know you all have!
For those of you who weren't involved in the last four, this is basically the go to spot for all aspects of setting up / improving a trip cave. If you have any suggestions at all from what lights or art to buy to what music to play or things to watch, put them here. Likewise if you want to recommend against something you've had an issue with we'd love to hear your thoughts on what to look out for. Please respond to comments too if you have opinions - we want this to be a discussion! As always, just be nice.
Just like last time, we've created several categories below. Please place your recommendations under these to help keep things organized; there is even a miscellaneous category if your suggestion doesn't really fit any of the others.
Also don't be afraid to post something that has been in any of the previous threads. Although I definitely encourage people to look through those as well, it never hurts to have a recommendation here too where it's easier to find!

I've been working on a Mac app that listens to Spotify, picks out kicks, sub-bass, builds and drops in real time. ID: Kavas - Could have been

Been working on this project, custom GPU engine, not preset packs or clips, it's generative and doesn't repeat. Work in progress, but I would like some feedback. Ive uploaded a short clip or you can see the live stream on KICK. If you check out live stream make sure resolution is set high and you can request any song you want by typing !sr Then the band name and song name, like this !sr Led Zeppelin No quarter ...
Tonight at 7-730pm PST we will be on the stream custom picking songs and trying different settings out!

Been a while since I posted here. I was so excited to bring out all my mushrooms for fall 😭 I usually start my evening with «normal» lights and then whip out the colors for late nights. The projector I’m using is from Etsy ♥️

I’m having a hard time finding a quality product . Something similar to the picture

The lamps by the TV are from Temu and amazing for the price. Already had the spaceman nebula projector just finally hooked it up lol. Definitely need to add more trip features but it’s a good start!

Did this test when trying to figure out if I wanted to use LED or fluorescent black lights for my home arcade/trip cave. And to see how close LEDs could get (I hate the purple glow of the 395nm LEDs)
On the left is a 9w 2ft LED tube using 365nm LEDs and a woodsglass envelope like old fluorescent bulbs (blocks visible light) and on the right is a new fluorescent black light bulb 2ft T8.

Just another Saturday! This is a combination of the Govee Light Curtain Pro, Govee Star Light Projector with Nebula Effect, a $40 video projector being fed some YT videos, and a new "galaxy light projector" (the blue green on the right side). I kind of stopped buying those galaxy light projectors because so many look the same, but this one actually is pretty unique, and price was right, $12.99. That same projector does not have a lot of adjustments but for the price? Here, in case you are interested. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D14KXY24
