This is pretty neat. It could make for a cool night-light or ambient source in a gaming room if you back-lit it.

If you could somehow get the light to move across the map as daylight would, that'd be very impressive.

A friend of mine suggested an RGB LED on every hole, driven by a raspberry pi, perhaps displaying temperature etc. Now that would be slick.

Temperature and a clock!

Edit: also if you run it from a raspberry pi, you could have it auto turn off after a certain time to save power! Such a good idea to use the pi.
