Step 13Illumination with LED's
Rummaging through the copper pipe section of my favorite hardware store I found these 1/2" to 1/4" reducers. Back home I was glad to find out that they would hold the stripped down Bic pens perfectly with some help of hot glue.
One end was closed with hot glue plus a nut of a compression fitting and an orphaned green LED I had gotten in a grab bag. The other end was bored open to 5mm or rather 7/32" to house the LED. (be careful, this material is very brittle )
I filled the empty pen with hair gel. (Idea borrowed from Hair-Gel-LED-Light)

Another cool addition to the led-gel lights would be to have the light fade away or seem to be radioactive. I think this could be produced with the use of another instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Glow-in-the-Dark-Hair-Gel/#step1 . Only question would be if the light still diffuses through it as well as it did through clear gel.
