Title: Home-Made LED whip
Post by: Ole Nasty on March 18, 2013, 10:33:06 PM
So far all I got into it is $14 and a safety flag/whip that I already had.  I bought a 16ft reel of RGB LED from fleabay and coiled it around the flag pole.  It has 3m adhesive tape and is waterproof, but not the connections.  I want to put some in each fender and I still gotta get a switch and wire it all together.

If I were to do it again I think I would buy a solid green one instead of a multicolor, seems like it would be even brighter.   But still not bad for what I got into it.

Be careful not to simultaneously-display multiple colors, it gets some folks skeered shirtless and they go running for their Rockwell orifice protectors!
