I saw a guy selling single color LED whips the other weekend for what seemed like too much money... I said, I could make that! So, here's my first try... But instead of a lame single color, This one has 16! 16 color change modes, 16 flash/strobe modes, 8 dimmer settings... all kinds 'o crap!

AAAALLLLrighty then.. I bought a 5 meter RGB (red green blue) LED strip on eBay along with a remote controller. I found clear heat shrink tube at Buyheatshrink.com. I bought the standard Fire stick at my local Yamaha shop and cut it down to the minimum height to save weight. I figure I have about $85 into it.

Thats what the heatshrink does,after you wrap the LEDs on the pole you slide the heatshrink over them,heat em up,tube shrinks nice and tight and there you go.I followed Rhino s link and made one myself.Good info.Good job Rhino !
