I present to you, the epic of epicness!!!

TRON CHAIR!



got bored with some EL Tubing, decided to install it into my chair... kinda not permanant at the moment, however im yet to figure out how to make it permanant.. (ideas welcome smile.gif )

Downside - it requires 8 D cell batteries to power... however im looking at USB POWER!!! (considering its my chair and its always at a computer or something with USB's)

Opinions?

Im actualy in the process of sewing the EL wire to the chair, secured for transport smile.gif

however i want to make it USB powerd any breif ideas on specs for a usb plug for just powering.

Edit: Just attempted to make a USB Power cable, it works but the drawback is its very dimly lit, it looks like ass compared to the 8 DCell batts.

could it be because the cable im using is USB 1.0 or could it be because USB cant power much (yet look at the charging capeabliitys)
