D'lite Time

Postby TheMaskedMagician » Jan 23rd, '08, 21:38



I can't give to much away on here, but for those of you who know the secret.., I'm going on about how we make the red balls of light appear.

How long can I do this without the trick "wearing out"?

Sorry if that's to much exposure, I'm just trying to say enough so those who have D'lites themselves will know what I'm on about.


EDIT: Darn, wrong section I posted in.. Could a moderator or administrator please move it?

Even though you posted it i the wrong section (*) i suppose i could tell you anyway lol. The D'lites last for as long as you want them to, you should only need to use them for a maximum of 5 minuites at a time anyway.

(*) Note from Mods - now moved here.

Back in the day I used to go through a pair every 2 days...if they even lasted that long!

Hmm, surely it was cheaper just to buy new batteries Chris?! Or can you not replace the batteries in official D'lites?

nah - I used to get a free set each day :P

I used them, sold a load, and that made back the money

I would sell two boxes and its in profit :D

It's a good idea never to reach the point where you have to think about that.

I really like walking up to a pedestrian crossing and simply "stealing" the light, putting it in my pocket, and continuing on my way as before, as a surrealist act. Subtlety is definitely the key, I reckon.

Or is this about batteries?
