The coolest thing I've done with my $400 light.

There's a wall in a darkened room in a science museum that's coated with phosphorescent(?) paint. There's a timer that'll trigger a flash, capturing your shadow on the wall. Pretty cool.

I used my Haiku to write my kids' name on the wall. (In retrospect, perhaps I should have written a poem.)

It stayed on there a LONG time...(I hope it wasn't permanent. That'd make me a vandal. In that case, writing NAMES probably wasn't the best idea...)

Sadly, that's the coolest thing I've done with it...

You vandal....:nana:

HAHAHA i did the same thing here in vancouver, at Science World, with my Fenix TA30 :twothumbs:twothumbs:twothumbs

Oh, great, CPF has a couple of felons in its ranks.

I jsut did the same in a place here in CT! My daughter (16 months) loves dark rooms with Daddy...becuase I let her play with my lights. This room has REALLY dim LED's handing on cords that the kids can doodle on the walls with. I put my Ti Aeon up to the wall (so as not to blind everyone) and wrote her name, and doodled...then let her (I gave it to her on low so as to not blind everyone when she inevtiably waved it around in there...ooops).

Even my wife thought it was pretty cool. (SCORE!)

Then, later, she found out how much that Haiku was. (AIR BALL!)

LOL! yeah, my wife was "impressed" too. She has learned not to ask how much any of my flashlights cost.

I have also been to a "place in Connecticut" that has the same thing, although I have never though of drawing anything on the wall with a light.

Did I just post a message that I "scored" with my wife? :shakehead

How big was the wall? For best text-writing results, you must use a Maxabeam. Or at least a DEFT. :nana:

How about a laser? I'm pretty sure you could use it to write pretty much as if it was a pen or a pencil on that type of wall.

I'm not sure if a laser would make it glow at all. At least, the glow powders I have are not very responsive to red light or red lasers.

As I have no $400 lights, nor plan to in the near future, this will be the extent of my contributions to this thread!

LOL

Here's a thought... Next time anybody else has the opportunity for public GITD wall graffiti, write the CPF URL! Curiosity ought to bring in a few new people.

I sure never planned on having one that expensive when I started this madness. (I probably would have rolled my eyes at the mere thought of it just like "normal" people do now!)

I just ended up with a lot of lights all at once so I just sold off most of them and used the money to fund it. Worth it? Umm, well, that's for another thread.

A red laser wouldn't cause it to fluoresce, but a blu-ray laser would light it up like crazy. You can find a lot of cool videos of people drawing on GITD material with blu-ray lasers over on LPF.

A raptor would work well!

Great little hotspot :devil:

And then posting here confessing it...

I love your "self-questioning"; "Did I just post a message that I "scored" with my wife? :shakehead"

UV Cree anyone?

+ 1,000,000

Bear in mind that the bioluminescent properties of the Photobacteria in the paint could be damaged by using a light that is too bright. Your graffiti could end up being permanent.
