Yes...I knew it was GITD material. I have used this in a previous build. I was just thinking....What COULD take the place of GITD....Have more luminosity, more visual impact, and how to have a geometry that would accept a continuous helix / wrap of Electroluminescent wire.
Such a wire could be powered by the same battery source that drives the LD.
I am sure some would say...." EEeeech….How tacky, how ugly " yes, well maybe....OR...It might look like something right outa " Buck Rogers " and retro cool ???? Dunno ??
I have NO idea how to machine a helix groove, maybe 2mm deep, 4mm separation..???
One thing though....I have NOT seen this done yet....just an artistic splash, NO functionality....but....could be pleasing ?????
