Led poi out of bouncy balls?

ok, has anyone built a led poi set out of bouncy balls? i tryed to search on this but i could fing out anything... in theory i'm guessing it would work fine to use baseball size bouncy balls or a series of smaller balls in a row. it would help reduce the ouch factor of regular led poi but i am worried that the softness of the ball might screw up the electrical wiring. does anyone have any experience with this?

I was having the same kind of idea, until I discovered that all the shops that sold parts I needed had closed down.

Since that probably wasn't very useful to you, have a look at this, the first 2 bits in particular

You can probably come up with a reasonably robust design based on them.

I've just been hit with some inspiration:

Get a plastic case, put in the LEDs and fill it with silicone sealant.
I'm thinking that this should protect the circuit enough for it to take a fairly substantial beating.
It wouldn't even need to be spherical, you could use any shape you feel like.

If I ever manage to find somewhere in Wycombe that sells LEDs, I'll make a set and post what happens to it

i've been pondering this a bit more and i think i'm going to experiement with putting led lights in juggling balls and turning them into poi. i am excited... my b-friend is going to build me them as a holiday present. the led lights he chose are green and yellow...
