LED MatchStick

[tjstouch]

I need this for a theater production where we are not allowed to have open flame. where do I find the components and how do I make it?

[InsaneTux]

how could u call it a match stick when it doesn't actually create a fire...

[ghpk]

Hi,  where's the circuit diagram, I would like this flickering effect for L.E.D. Fireplace i want to make.

seems you didn't much time to post your instructable yet ???

[noahlankford1]

thats awesome

[vamp2661]

why do all that when i have a lighter XD

[IndianMetalHead333]

[stevehunniford]

[kronic2233]

[Truthiness231]

Seriously? WTF?

[paulws81paulws81]

[koalabear2]

Wheres the fire?

idiots.

[valentin0078]

SO...how would i light my cigar?

[moconnellus]

Wow! What a bunch of b*tches on here talking trash!

[GrandTheftAuto4Films]

cool man. Welcome to the internet, where everyone is immature and will trash you no matter what you have on the internet.

[maggot68584]

AWESOME.

You invented something that is completely pointless.

You do know that the point of matches is fire, right?

[Falcon5768]

this is excellent for stage productions. you know where you cant have fire due to regulations but need to show a match lighting...

tool.

[maggot68584]

Is an LED the closest they can come to fire?

Plus the match stick is fucking huge.

Think that's a bit of a give away?

[xAr1asx]

yeah....so?....ok. :)

[nodvick]

still waiting for the point..

[geekgirl45]

Cure cancer, then LED matchsticks. That's my priority.

[EmperorKagato]

Awesome work

[asianbumz]

OBALAY!

[kesoxx]

Make an LED cigarette hell yeah

[TadpoleBuckshot]

You made this because?

[ciprian1730]

yeah rite....?

[liamsoni]

i love india

[youkaidevil]

i dont get it, cool, but i dont get it

[13may1987]

Cool :)

[KenJunkins]

For those of you who are dissing this idea, hold on a minute.

dj, you did a great job and I would love to see the plans for, or an instructable for, this matchstick. It would be a PERFECT stage prop, where, anymore, real cigarettes and matches are no longer allowed. In fact, a great follow up to this would be a LED cigarette, that turns on when the match touches its end, and glows brighter when you suck on the filter end.

[kesoxx]

Agreed!

[gerZruleS]

whats the purpose of this matchstick led??

matchstick are used to flame a candle, paper, stove..

but this matchstick led.. can this gadget do the same as real matchstick..?

if not then use flashlight its more usefull

[baddspella]

so shit -_-....

[BELACSAMOHT]

And the point of this is...

[FaIseHope]

That is exactly what I was going to type...

[rhomis]

Me too... ...until someone mentioned that the use would be for a stage prop. Especially when there are fire codes in many theaters.

[ciprian1730]

you can still use a normal LED light

[ardnat2]

neat :0, btw yeah supercaps are pretty cheap these days, arround like $3 in digikey for a powerfull goldplated one

[JeromeDemers]

you should add a sensor to blow it out, that would make that thing even nicer! Great job!

[l0sts0ng]

A supercapacitor! I've never used one. Are these widely available now?

[dhananjaygadre]

Yeah sure it is windproof... what we could do easily is to add a sensor to blowout the matchstick

[WOLF2143WK]

Is it wind-proof too? It might be good for survival situations! ;->

Perhaps you should include a nichrome wire that heats up and burns the user's fingers after a couple of seconds - that would make it even more realistic! ;->

But seriously - pretty neat!

[Anthonyk312]

@WOLF2143WK I so LOLd when you said you should include a nichrome wire that heats up and burns the user's fingers after a couple of seconds!
