Wow, thank you. You just gave me so many ideas for my pack, hope you don’t mind if I used some.

I actually found those pumpkin lights you used, I bought three, cause two of my friends are making packs as well. I was just wondering if you rigged up anything to turn the light on on the outside of the pack, or if you just remove it to do so.

The whole light unit is hot-glued in place. The back of my pack has two square doors cut out of it, that are held in place with Velcro; one for the pumpkin light and one for the jogging light. When I want to turn the lights on, I just pull the door off, flip and switch and set the door back in place.

No need to run wires or switches or battery packs or anything. Just two hidden trap doors.

Ah, very simple. Thanks, I probably wouldn’t have thought of that on my own, would have tried something much more complicated and wouldn’t have turned out well.

Here is the beginnings of my modified Star Wars Silly String Shooting Blaster, which will be used for the base of the Thrower. I love Dremmel tools.

lookin pretty cool my man… and I’m with ya, I love dremmel as well!

I dislike the red hot plastic that often gets blasted about like napalm… but the dremmel is one nifty gadget!

I’m actually tinkering with making a dollar tree neutrona wand this week as a distraction… I’ll have to let you know if I complete it.

Can you give me the exact name of the jogging light and the pumpkin light so I can do a search on the Internet for them?

Also, did you use lights for the [power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell)? Blue light? If so, can you also tell me what you used?

Thanks.

Im sorry, I dont know the exact names as I threw away the packaging. The pumpkin light is used for the 4 red lights at the bottom of the pack, the jogging light is in the [Power Cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell).

Well, so far my Wand has set me back $26 including lighting. Its not totally accurate, but dang it, I want it to shoot Silly String! I will post pics as it will be done this weekend.

Then I just gotta wait for Ebay stuff and I can finish the car.
