About
One person, two kits, and the wall behind your TV
An ambilight is a strip of addressable LEDs behind the panel that throws the colour at the edge of the screen back on to the wall. It makes a dark room easier to watch in and a good film look enormous. The Dronacharya sells two kits that do it, built on the same parts, assembled and tested in Mumbai and shipped across India.
The same glow, two ways to get there
Both kits are 300 WS2812B LEDs — five metres at 60 per metre — driven by an ESP32 running WLED, off a 5V 4A supply with the current limit already set so the adapter is never asked for more than it has. On the wall they are identical. What differs is the evening.
The Plug & Play kit arrives flashed, configured and bench-tested: every board is powered up and run through a colour sweep against this exact strip before it goes in a box, and the connector is already soldered to the strip lead. The DIY Builder kit arrives as parts and the tools to join them — soldering iron included — because some people would rather own the iron than skip the work.
The guides are free, and they are the whole thing
Every step of both builds is written down and published: wiring, flashing, the WLED settings that actually matter, screen sync with SignalRGB, and what to check when a third of the strip goes white. No email wall, no gated video. If you read all four guides and decide to source the parts yourself instead, that is a fine outcome — the guides are worth publishing either way.
There is no checkout
No cart, no account, no card form. You send a message naming the kit you want, and the order is arranged in that conversation — stock, address, payment and a tracking number, from a person. It is a small operation and that is the honest way to run one.
Who you are actually buying from
OG (Omee Ganatra), working out of Mumbai. The Dronacharya is the name on the invoice and on the policies, and the address and contact details on every one of them reach the same person who packs the box.
