My plan is to take 100 push lights and somehow attach them to a board (or something similar) in a grid shape, so that people can turn them on and off and make patterns, kind of like a big Lite Brite.<br> They usually run on batteries, but this means I have to get my hands on 400 AAs, which isn't cheap, and from what I've read they tend to drain batteries pretty fast.<br> Is there any way to do this without electrocuting myself? I don't have much experience with electrical projects, but my brother does and I can get him to help me if there's like, soldering involved. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.53909 Wed, 27 Dec 2006 18:13:49 -0800 art electrical projects pushlights wiring exceptinsects
