New Light Emitting Fabric

Looks like production of light emitting fabric's are getting very close. I doubt these will be rugged enough for crawling.

Cheers,

But do they make a light-emitting caving helmet?

I think I've seen the guy in the yellow suit in some other website, or maybe I'm just having a deja vu

Looking at the video makes me think how all the "models" were male and how the shirts had "boring" "spots" in the middle on the front. It made me think how electronic geeks could make truly offensive women's garments! Thank goodness I didn't have to watch a video of that!

I was about to say there's NO WAY I'm going caving in one of those suits so to hearing my buds humming the tune from Tron every minute of the trip. :rofl:

Looks like the TRON guy could use a little exercise ;-)

Ahhh the things you can do with some EL wire and a little imagination. I imagine he's popped into a Dragoncon or two.:-)
