Now... the real question is how to make a proper conversion with those white Infinities sitting at the back of the drawer so that the resultant lightstick is waterproof like the Krills. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I went ahead and did just
that, by using the nice translucence of the LazerBrite tube (avail.@$3.US). from
www.lazerbrite.com .
All that's necessary is to moderately sand out the inner diameter of the tube and the White Infinity goes in with a press (twist) fit.-The diameters of the two are quite similar
The finishing touch was to find the right poly/plastic cap (threads Match) that screws tightly onto the threaded far end of the tube for looks
and water-tightness.
If you do this, and get VERY snug fits on both ends of the tube, and use a Li "AA" cell, you will find that your new "lightstick" will
float!
This little project took me about 45min. to complete
p.s.-it took me about 3 weeks to find just the right size screw-cap for that puppy.
p.p.s.-a piece of alum. foil liner inside the top cap also helps to give a nice uniform, even light diffusion the whole length of the tube.(approx. 30cm.x 2.5cm)
