Will spent a lot of this week putting together the UV light orb that a 3rd person would hold to create an exterior light source for the poms. Using the UV LED's and strip lights he tested out different ways to create a stronger light source First testing various material, such as balloons and thin vacuum form plastic with a single UV LED. The Vacuum form plastic came in white and also clear, which he sand blasted to create better light dispersal. The sand blasted plastic showed more promising results then the white plastic and the balloon. But just wasn't bright enough to lite up the Pom's or there surroundings as the LED was only 3V. Therefore, we switched to using a short segment of UV LED waterproof strip. This was 12V and much brighter but required more battery power. The LED strips were much brighter and provided the ideal light source. Will then tested the orb...
