DIY - Portable China Ball hacks? using LED pocket lights


Recommended Posts

With the influx of small portable LED lights I was wondering if anyone had any hacks using them with paper lanterns? 

Im not that fussed on long running time, looking for a wireless setup thats easy to carry and play around with.

I'd probably look at getting some LED strip and just coil it around a bit of tube, or something. You can get stuff on eBay that has reasonable colour quality and then you end up with something really inexpensive.

Connect 'em up to battery, I guess. I have some dimmers that handle it quite well but that's an optional extra.

That's exactly what David S. Sandberg (director of "Shazam!", amongst others) does as he continues to make home movies:

I like his attitude. I'd recommend that video.
