LED Glowstick ideas
Btw, I just confirmed with B. G. Micro that their LED is indeed the same ETG one reviewed at the museum. They sent me the spec sheet on it, but it seems fairly useless: link Also I directly e-mailed ETG and they say they'll sell me a few dirrectly at $3.50 a piece (same at BG) but whatever...- Rufus

Alright, ditch the regulator idea. The reason I was thinking about using half the resistor that you suggested was for extended battery life. Looking at the datasheet for the batteries most of it's life seems to be in the 11ish range. Using a 68ohm resister there will be a measly 20ma of...- Rufus

bah, I had this response typed up then accidently closed mozilla Anyway, since they run fine at 3.2v @ 40ma, they look perfect. I'd really like to use a pair of AA/AAA lithiums with a step-up, but I'm afraid the extra circuitry will break too easily (I'm wondering about the durability of...- Rufus

James: any idea what the actual BG Micro LED is? I found this review of an almost identical ETG unit at the LEDmuseum. Thing is the ETG runs 3.6v@20ma (very normal and reasonable) while the BG Micro one runs 4.5v@90ma (very heavy when running off a weak battery like a 23a...or is it...- Rufus

rycen: hrm, that light wand seems a bit boring, single color. But the desgussion of battery types helps. James: DAYMN!! that thing looks sexy. Could hook up 2 of those to a 12v a23 or something for each poi, so 4 changing color lights flying around...starts drooling. Wonder what the light...- Rufus

hrm, thanks for the bit on the Glo-Toobs. They are almost exactly what I'm looking to build, only thing is they're $35 a piece (that's $70 a pair, bit expensive for a highschooler with no job). Looking around a bit more I just found the Sauce Lightwand. Seems to be almost exactly what I'm...- Rufus

LED Glowstick ideas
Ok, first of all I've been reading for a bit but this is my first post. I'm currently trying to decide on the CMG Reactor, the InReTech adapter, or the Opalec adapter, but that's a whole other thread. Anyway, I've started lately learning to do Poi (the art of spinning stuff around you, for all...- Rufus
