aegault Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 So this star thing sparkled like a strobe/very random and bright (similar to some of the net light that blinks/sparkles randomly) in cool white. I got out and looked at it and the cord had labels and such so I don't think the lights were necessarily homemade (I thought at first they put strobes on each of these spines). Now I'm thinking maybe it was an LED string that they formed into this shape but they were awesome looking and I've never seen anything like it. I've got a short video as well... if anyone wants to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisquit476 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I forget what they are called, but they us pvc pipe and some kind of fishing ball. It's supposed to be a starburst of some kind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basis21b Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I wonder if porcupine fish attractors were used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aegault Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Here's the video on youtube. They were very slender spines that more/less came to a point and were about the diameter of a pencil. The shape is right for those 'fish attractors' but the 'spines' look a lot fatter than these. Edited January 1, 2017 by aegault add more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdNetman Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Very nice! I hope someone shares info on how to build these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibblejr Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Actually I was browsing the old posts today and I think someone was making something very similar to them with fiberglass rod and other materials from a home improvement store. I don't remember what page I went back to like 2011 looking for a DIY for the shooting stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aegault Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 I saw these online while searching, but this was not them. These are clear tubes with lights in them. What I saw were spines that were opaque and the lights (pretty sure just one per spine at the end) stuck out from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aegault Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 I DID! It was a 20min drive back over there (and then they weren't home!) but I took pics of the cord labels this time! i just don't think they'll work with a show though as they are programmed and the other lights like this don't return to your favorite "style" each time they are turned back on- which would be dozens of time during the show. Might get one or two anyway for next year as they are pretty awesome. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
