i was thinking of using a transparent tube as the joining section, and taping up the middle of it to make the "handle", as u suggest.

I thought about extending my electroglo staff, but I didn't think the LED's would be bright enough for a longer staff. However, after reading all the great ideas in this thread, I'm off to the hardware shop.

I think I will try fitting some of those photon micro LED flashlights (like the ones at the HOP shop) to a length of perspex tube or clear plastic tube or whatever.

A bit OT, but the best idea I have seen recently is the glowstaffs that Farrah Siegel used in COL 2. The LED's appear to be located about 6" in from the end of the staff, instead of at the end of the staff. So, you can grip the staffs by the end and spin them like poi, or you can grip in the centre and twirl like a staff. The best of both worlds I reckon

Twirling with the darth maul merchandised light stafves makes me look stoopid cos it only lights up if i drop it!

I have a glo staff exactly to the specs of this website and I have to say that the perspex that you can get is REALLY REALLY strong. I can barely bend it. So i am offended. AND it's amazingly bright. I bought my perspex piping for like $13AU and I was told by the supplier "Acrylic industries" that the perspex tubing itself was made in Germany. So you UK pplz should have all the luck in getting it over there, seeing as it's not worth watching the cricket.... =) <img src="http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~rsywp/images/billsite shorcutbar_r1_c4_f2.gif">

Sorry Offender, where you perhaps aiming for ?

For any english people that were trying to figure out what bender was on about $13 is £4.72.

As to the cricket reference I'm as lost as the rest of you. I think maybe Bender comes from one of those countries where they think it's real......
