I'm looking for a way to turn my 4ft LED tube into a spinning tube to illuminate a 360 radius. I intend to mount it vertically, but what I can't seem to find is a motor that also has some AC line wiring so the tube can rotate in one direction without the power wires getting tangled.

Does anybody have any clue where I could obtain a motor of that sort?
 
I remembered this post, originally saw it on hacked gadgets, long ago.

You have to look at it a few times to figure out what is going on, but it seems like a reasonably nice implementation for a DIY slipring.

Enjoy, Good luck with your display,
