LED lighting effect using an Arduino and LEDs

//Load NeoPixel library
#include
//Digital output pun and number of LEDs on string
#define PIN 6
#define NUMPIXELS 12
Adafruit_NeoPixel pixels = Adafruit_NeoPixel(NUMPIXELS, PIN, NEO_RGB + NEO_KHZ800);

// Initialize values used.
// brightVal is how long LEDs are on.
// darkVal is how long before next lightning effect
// delayVal is the delay between lightning effect blinks
// lightVal is how bright each of the flashes are
// flashVal is how many time the lightning effect flashes
// blinkTimes is how many times the lightning effect flashes
// r, g, b are used to set the RGB value of the LED

// r, g, b is assigned the value generated from the lightVal variable. If you want different RGB values, assign different values to r, g, b.
