    Aug 15, 2012 - Nightwing sticks with lights? #1

    Hi guys!

    I'm planning to do a modernized Nightwing costume and was thinking of having some kind of blue lights built-in the black sticks (maybe some kind of blue light on the end of the stick of each one)
    Does it exists anything similar already that I could buy?

    Any help is much appreciated

    Example:

    I really think you're better off building your own rather than buying "sticks with lights in them." As you can see here, something like you're describing would cost way too much. And even then, it's just a flashlight at the end of a stick. I recommend just making some eskrimas with LEDs at the end or something along the lines of that.

    I'm actually working on a Robin costume right now, so I'm really interested in how this thread is going to turn out. Hopefully I'll get some ideas.

    After doing quite a bit more searching, I may have found something that might be of interest to you.
    I'm not sure if these are too thick, but I'm thinking you can just wrap up the majority of the baton in something, only exposing the top. I think this might be what you wanted. Hope this helped.

    I'd would just do blue leds in PVC pipe. Cap the end with a clear plastic/acrylic piece and call it good. Can be done for probably $10 for the set.

    You could also look for some bicycle handlebar lights like the ones I link below. They're made to attach into the hollow end of handlebars so it shouldn't be hard to get them mounted into some kind of pipe.

    This is a set in black with red lights, I know I've seen blue ones before but didn't come up with any in a quick Google search.
