Lithium Rain Radiant Beacon of Righteousness (Blinking I-hoodie)

Step 6 Light it up...

What is great about dollar discount stores is that you can find just about anything to mod.  I am using the same bike-safety blinker units that worked for the turn-signal glove. 

It was getting late so I decided to just use the blinker as-is.  I could have modded it to extend the switch so that it would be more accessible.  I guess it would be cool to have a switch on the sleeve or somewhere.  Note that pressing the switch will turn on the lights and cycle it through several blinking patterns for the LEDs.

Take a look at this ible www.instructables.com/id/Keith-Ki-Domo-kun-Instructables-Keith-Kid-Domo-k/ to see what microelectronic surgery is necessary to mod these units.

You could probably also stuff this with a bunch of LED throwies or joule thiefs or a string of LED lights from your Christmas tree.  And also throw in that arduino to make it blink in colors and patterns.

Test the placement of your light unit.

Put on an additional layer of reinforcement tape and cut out a slit so that the lights will be immersed in the batting layer.

Install lights.

Attach and secure light unit with another piece of duct tape.

Go out and play in the street.
