Chemlights

[AJ Dual]

One of these days we need to fabricate a big batch of TCPO so we can make something obscenely awesome like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS4WXKDZ-GE

Not to question the "just because" factor of it, but you can get 100ft of blue Electroluminescent wire and the needed power supply for about $320 and change, while the chemicals for the 100ft glow-stick ran Dr. Nurd Rage about $500....

And you can use the EL wire over and over again, the glow stick only lasted about 6 hours.

I think you are missing the "because I can" factor.

Anyone have any brands they recommend?  Any specific places to buy from?

I'm not worried about 'cheapest. available', I'm looking for decent price but quality first and durability first.  Probably a mix of colours and sizes.

How did we get this far without mentioning http://www.extremeglow.com  Any type you want from 12 hour to ultra-intensity 5 minute.

The 5 minute ones are great for distributing to all the places you might be when the lights go out so you have plenty of light to go find the flashlight.  You can easily navigate a room or check the breaker box by their output.

Bingo!   Much appreciated!

Good, good, they stock the 15 inch chemlights.  Woot!  Need a couple of those on hand, especially after the morning from hell I had today.
