Thread: Glowing "hot" coals ...

Looks dangerous!! Great Job.

Excellent job, LT Scare!...Thank you for sharing this technique, going to us it in my next prop build.

Glad to see so many applications and variations in all the haunts. Dazzle them guys an gals!

This prop has survived three years of outside storage and still works flawlessly.

I ended up copying the circuit for EFX-TEK's WickLED. I soldered together 5 strings of 5 red LEDs and 5 strings of 4 LEDs and controlled them with a Prop-1 controller. I increased the capacitor size and lengthen the delay on the off which gave for a really nice random slow flicker/fading of the glowing coals.

So simple but so cool! What did you spend on the LED's. Seems like the wiffle balls would be pretty cheap but the likes look pretty spendy.
