A mildly flashaholic friend (I'm working on it!) wants to engrave some latin on a gift metal torch for another friend. I thought that:

enite aeternum

would work well. What do you all think? It sounds better than semper luce or whatever else, since it's also a bit of a play on words. For non-latin types semper=always, lucere=to shine, aeternum=eternally/forever and enitere=to shine, brighten up, be brilliant or distinguish oneself.

Any thoughts? BTW I don't want to feed the guy incorrect grammar so let me know if I've made a boo-boo.
 
No one answered this? Myself, I would want some criptic symbol or maybe a schemic of the LEd if it is one or the inner workings of the light.
 
I believe that is correct. I pulled out my Latin dictionary to check if "aeternum" is an acceptable adverb form for that word, and it is.
 
Thanks. I have a feeling that nobody would ever notice even if it was wrong, but I just wanted to make sure!
