dklassen,
That's the same little controller I got for my LEDs. Since all my stuff is 24 volt, I ran two parallel strips of LED (the same length, same number of LEDs per strip) around the inside of the frame -- one inside the front edge (like yours) and one inside the back edge. The illumination is great for checking out the first layer --- if it's messed up, you can abort the print real quick and waste less filament. I also designed an offset fan bracket that has a "shelf" for mounting a short strip of 3 LEDs right under the extruder fan, behind the bed fan. REAL nice for inspecting print quality. (But I had to take that off when I put on the dual extruder beta.) The bracket files and pictures are available at

I see you've found all the effects and speed controls on the remote. They have a similar controller / remote for tri-color LEDs as well. I'm sure those would be excellent for showing the M2 at a maker faire.
I got a couple reels of LEDs shipped from China, and we used them to encircle the horns on the three seniors' sousaphones for mass-band night. They had a couple lines of band members, one on either side, about 20 yards apart, to be the "paddles" and the sousaphones were the "ball" in a game of pong. (Most exercise my nephew ever got
