Re: Illegal?
[quote=dtengineering;630971]Excellent suggestion on the LED light bars. Our secret plan this year... if we had time... was to do a Canadian Flag in IR Leds.
No one would see it until it showed up in photos and on the big screen.

We still get people oohing and ahhing over it. Moe from 88, after seeing it for the first time, put it best:
Me: "So when it lights up, we know we can get the tube..."
Moe: "And everyone knows you have a tube!"
Me: "Yeah. We didn't think of that until later."
We really scoured the aftermarket car decoration market for possibilities. Our runner up was electroluminescent wire, or EL wire, bunched within a clear lexan tube four bar linkage. However, the weight of the claw forced the tubes to bend to a point where the linkage couldn't reliably hold a position. Thus, the LEDs won out in the end.
