Step 8Further thoughts
So, after breaking one of the unreinforced blue lights, and tearing a cable off one of the green lights, I've got some ideas for the next one.
1) put the CCFL tubes in bigger acrylic tubes like these
2) resolder up the tubes to some wire
3) put the battery and inverter in the peanut butter jar bottle pack like fungus amungus did.
I'm ordering the acrylic tubing, when i rebuild it, i'll post up a new instructable.

To keep the tubes from breaking against the acrylic, thry wrapping the ends in foam. Its springiness should push the CCFL towards the centerline of the acrylic tube and also provide some isolation from the bike frame.

Put the batteries and inverter in one of those cheap REI seat packs. Works great. Also the neon tubes at your neighborhood auto parts store are way more sturdy and come in a bunch of sizes. Bike lighting rocks!

Tubing? You can get that by the foot or meter at any hardware store?
