Electroglow led's: idea 4 malcolm

I have just recieved my electroglow poi (Within 5 days [very impressed]) and it suddenly occured to me that I can switch the leds from my poi to the staff and vice versa. Therefore I think it would be a good idea to sell the LED's seperately from the equipment so you can swap and change the colours as you please. I for one would buy different colour LED modules to swap between my equipment.

I just thought it would be a good idea, let me know what you think!

Ya thats a pretty good idea...i mean i would probaly buy just the LED's for the colors...

Also you could add a second LED unit to the top of the ElectroGlo Poi.

(A LED unit that flashed would be very cool!)

I'm hopping on that train!!

Dude! Go to Radio Shack or a similar electronics/computer parts store, and pick out the ones you want. They are dirt cheap, just get the highest voltage you can find, because that affects the brightness. You can even buy bags of assorted colors if you aren't quite sure. LED's are really easy to work with.

I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here.

Same here! I love those poi, and I'd certainly splash out on some more colours... would be a whole lot more fun, hopefully for quite a bit less... how much would those things cost on their own? Wheeee! Would it be possible to get some kinda crazy-ass high-tech strobing style thingies? That would look damn good... T

I shall contact the manfacturers and see if we can get the LED units seperate. Stayed tuned. Will take 2 weeks to get if I can order them. I am sure they will be cheaper way to go for different colours

Yayyy! Go Malcom

Unfortunately their next batch now all have the LED units glued in place. This is to stop the LED units travelling up the tube. We did talk about other ways of securing the LED units in the pipes without gluing. They are going to give it futher thought and get back to me.

Hi Gooble,

That sounds cool. Is globug online? please post their web address or some pics in the relevent sections - my emails not too clever at opening pictures.

I know Malcom has been busy, but I noticed the other day that the LED's can now be purchased seperately from the HOP Shop!!!

Ok, so if you can now get the led units on the hop shop, does this mean the new batch (if i were to order electroglo stuff now) doesnt have the led units glued in place?

I dont own any electroglo kit but im looking to get some soon. Does anyone have any favourite colours?/which ones look best?

red-blue, cos blue-green is too samey when spun fast. red-green is odd

The whole colour thing was talked about in the 'holding glowsticks' thread

hey, I think if you get blue ones (they need to be the right blue ones, so you might have to swap the led's from their holders/battery packs for the right ones) you can make them strobe in the UV range (cant be continuous else they knacker the led's) with some circuitary... ...its been mentioned before somewhere, but not sure if the two have been combined... I have fiddled a bit and its pretty effective... if its not on this site, e-mail me and I will have a look around the shed and see if i can send a circuit diagram...

Hey bruv I am gonna talk to the aerotech folks to see where they are up to now, about time they did poi really. Wheres Stefs LED devilstick you.
