LED throwies

LED throwies (via) are LEDs in various colours with integral power supply and magnetic properties thought up by the Graffiti Research Lab. This means you can throw them onto ferrous surfaces in large numbers to create a pretty fun effect like in this video.


I am not too sure whether I really like these or really don’t. On the one hand they do create a quite cool effect and the (relatively) high cost for any meaningful numbers of them I would imagine would prevent them from becoming to be too profuse. On the other hand I don’t agree with the principle of sticking them on other peoples property without their consent, they’re not going to look so cool in daylight and their power source is not going to last for long leaving irritating bits of plastic lying around.

They look cool, I think you're taking a pessimistic attitude to fun- grumpy old man!
