Of course they don't. The fire does.

And calling people retards isn't nice. Apologize.

[IshidaTheQuincy]

It doesn't. All the sensor bar does is emit infrared lights as reference for the WiiMote. You could very well use two candles as a sensor "bar". It'd work just as good.

@doctabu If you think this looks ugly just get 2 candles add a little distance and ta da it works this is just a more expensive and uglier version imo but good idea.

@blackrack2008 you should, without them you over power the LED's and will burn them out much faster.

Wouldn't cost the same as buying one??

Also that thing is fugly

I would want that in my home theater setup...

[blackrack2008]

so you don't have to add in any resistors ??

[teentitan2k2]

Recently I bought a sensor bar from ebay for 4 dollars, free shipping. changed the Resistors inside to 27 OHM from 220OHM, and put a usb cable on the boards where the original wires were. This allows you to plug it into a spare usb port on the tv or to something like an iPhone/ Android USB phone charger, and power it from the wall. Adjust the sensitivity on the wii settings, and you should be golden.

I assume they use 10 LEDs just in case any burn out.
