Yup....
those Streetlights are not worth spinning with... the casing is too weak to survive anything but the lightest touch...
broke mine doing a simple butterfly, ended with a shower of plastic and slowly dimming LED's...
looked cool though!
But, if you get a length of plastic piping about 2mm in thickness with the internal diameter the same as a streetlight, you can put the streetlight inside the pipe and then spin to your hearts content. Just put the split ring through the end of the pipe and the streelight.
You can still operate the switch through the plastic pipe as well... Changing the batteries is a bit of a pain though.
I haven't seen the NeonHusky deflectors, but by the sounds of things they suck... a friend took a set I made her to Glasto... the only problem she had was the batteries ran out and she didn't have spares!
I can't believe they sold you two which had run out... they've usually got a little plastic thing to break the connection and stop them from being accidentally turned on... thats just bad service!
Thats sux m8...
