In winter it is a great fun to play ice hockey on the frozen lakes. The days are short and it gets dark early.
Usually there are no illumination for the lake, so at some moment it gets hard to see the puck.
Ice-hockey puck with LED lights allows to continue to play hockey after it has become dark.
Several of them were made during last 4 years. Hard hits are OK. Two AAA batteries are sufficient for 1 season.
Switch on by twisting togather two wires. For transportation fix theese wires with a tape so that they do not touch.
At home dry the puck by putting it in a warm place.
Next step is goal posts with LED lights as well. Parts needed:
old mobile phone battery or 3V Lithium battery
two-pin socket with wires from old PC
White LED Plastic container (food box or some bottle milk color ).
For charging I connect all batteries in paralell and connect to a LiPo charger. Note: use only correct charger as LiPo can explode if charged incorectly.
Be carefull on ice! Go on the ice when temperature is below -7C for 3 days and there are no underwater currents. Places where water grass grows do not freeze so well.

Aah, I love this! Very ingenious. How should it be stored, as I could imagine I can't put this in my freezer long term? =^..^=

Hi! thanks for good comments. Upon coming home, can put it on a room heater to dry.

I like the idea but i don't think that you should be skating on a lake at night because who knows what could happen
