The nights are getting longer, but they can also get brighter. We want to know what ways you have for lighting your way or making yourself easier to see. So show us some cool ways to get reflective or lit up and enter them in the Light Up the Night! Contest to win some cool clothes from Cordarounds.com!
Cordarounds is an online clothing company that makes secretly shiny pants for safe night-riding and a brilliantly reversible jacket that can turn an average pedestrian into TRON. Both products are prizes in this contest.
So break out the reflective materials, LEDs, cold cathode lights, or whatever else you want to use to be brilliant! Put them on yourself, make a handy flashlight, or even light up any human-powered vehicle you use to get around. You can even put them on your pet boa that you take for long walks in the dark. It's totally up to you!
Think bright and shiny and make something awesome. We can't wait to see what you'll come up with!
How to enter:
- Make a new Instructable

International entries are allowed. Multiple entries are also allowed, but each entrant can only win one prize.
