interesting - starts to consider possibilities....
yep...believe it or not, those pic's of tynan's bike are about 4 years old. he was pretty on it. EL has it's place but comes with its own headaches...power supplies, inverters, etc. OLED's are the future but just aren't quite ready yet...they offer low power/no inverter possibilities. however, the cost of EL makes it very accessible if one is creative and knows a thing or two about practical electronics, which i don't. EL also 'flickers' (i.e. the inverter) but obviously at a frequency too high for the eye to detect. the upside being that 'lightsabre' look.
