Discussion 2026 Trip Caves Recommendations Megathread!!

39 Upvotes

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!

Brought some lights on the road while car camping for Phish in Atlantic City a couple weeks ago. Car toured Billy Strings after Phish. It was a great weekend.

Not the normal setting comparatively to some of you, but it does the trick when you’ve got a great session with the team.

Not sure what the rules are for digital trip caves are but the game felt a little too on the nose for my game where you are in a trippy cave. let me know if this is breaking any rules and i can take down

Free demo for Windows and Mac to play if any one is interested - https://wilsonb9000.itch.io/cave-drop

One Fire 65 3D scenes cylinder projector?

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have the One Fire 3D galaxy cylinder projector (black) with 65 scenes, currently on sale at $133?

I currently have the Govee Star and Nebula projector and was wondering if this One Fire would be a better buy — given it can project more than just nebulas and stars. Thanks!

Found 2 blisslight skylite 2s on ebay for $40. Had retired my trip cave but this sub has inspired me to convert my office 😅. Step one was adding a projector. Step 2 is the blisslights.

My whole house is rigged with govee lights. This is the only room that isn't fully decorated too. Lots of wall space for projections or light fill. I welcome recommendations!

The Phillips Hue lights were worth the coin. The Amazon projector could be better

Music visualizer GPU engine

36 Upvotes

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 ...

https://kick.com/greezmonk

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 ♥️
