hey man, they be crossed. i have a black light next to my guitar amp.. many years ago i got into playing with it on and just tripping out on the sounds that it would inspire ( early pinkfloyd sounding stuff ).. even had the nail polish.. the stuff i had was clear tho.. so no one knew my secrete. yeah playing the ol guitar under a black light and pretending i was a teen a gain. laughs. being a kid at any age is where its at. :) chris. |

Damn it looks good in real life, my camera isnt doing this thing justice. Going to crack open my flight stick tonight to put the final details to rest |

Sorry, Do not like. Try just One of those leds (cover the rest). I dont think you need more than one or two. Seeing a segmented line of blinding Leds in there looks like a carnival ride... but not as nicely lit/done. |

I dunno. I think it looks pretty good. I quess I wasn't expecting to be able to "see" each led, and much as they'd all be frosted together to make the whole stick just kind of glow. Still, looks good to me. |

It looks 10 times better in real life, my DroidX isnt a UV friendly SLR camera. The dots are not that apparent as I stand here & quite frankly Id rather see a few dots if I look hard enough as opposed to a 2 foot long bulb in my face. Even my wife who hates to see me pull off something cool (gameroom related) couldn't fight back a smile. The number of LEDS is perfect IMO & you are actually only seeing half of them ;D The stick is so damn unbelievably UV reactive that the shell itself is somehow brighter than the LED's (meaning it looks good, well diffused & not over powered but damn saturated with UV glowing awesomeness). I can think of no better way to illuminate a Tron joystick other than installing a UV flood lamp over my head. This is one of those things I think you would have to see in person to grasp its true appearance. A lot is lost in a picture but this gives you a decent preview. Anyway its a welcome addition to my blackhawk high/low spinner & new control panel, cant wait to finish this thing! EDIT: Xiaou I knew you wouldnt like this, its not a IJ pin, CRT or Wico leaf. |
