Wow that's the find of the year! Got mine on order. Outstanding job, and thanks for sharing. You rock.

I had a major setback on my project today. With only 6 days until the event, I apparently fried my Hytechtoyz deluxe Cylon voice changer (which is the closest thing I've found to the Phantom). All I did was touch the battery backwards but that's apparently all it took. Back to square one on voice changing. With 6 days to go. I have the sound-to-light circuit ready, though.

Hytechtoyz customer service has been great and they are sending me a replacement voice changer. Here is the current state of the box with light kit installed:



I'm not thrilled with the LED hotspots, but this will do for now. Ideally I would use LED panels like these:

or these (if I can find them in red and blue or use plastic filter material):

Amazon.com: Cutequeen Trading 2PCS White 5050 48SMD 48-SMD LED Panel Dome Light Lamp + T10 BA9S Festoon Adapter (pack of 2): Automotive

But LED panels come with resisters built in, so I would have to figure out how to alter the existing sound-to-light kit or find one made for driving tiny incandescent bulbs.
