Tron Identity Disc Modification Part 2

This is Paul with Aradani Studios. My brother and I have been designing our Tron costumes, and thought we would document the way that we mod our discs so that if you like, you can have a more accurate disc than the standard issue toy. The items needed for this mod include:

Tron Disc toy
2 ft, EL wire from www.elwirepros.com (with Quick connector)
3V Inverter (http://www.coolight.com/product-p/cl-iptc-3v-3-7ft.htm)
12V LED strip from eBay, from seller formula-j87
12V battery holder, Radio Shack
Double AAA battery holder, Radio Shack

Part Two covers mounting the EL Wire and LED Strip to the toy disc. Look for more soon!

What size EL wire did you use?

@facexstfu I used 5mm EL Wire from EL Wire Pros.

Hello! Huge fan of your accomplishments with modding this disc. I have a question for you about the switches since my electronic lingo is terrible. I was wondering if a single pull, double throw switch would do the trick.. If perhaps you can give me just a small sentance about what switches can run in your parallel design so I know what to look for when I go to "The Source" (Canadian Radio Shack) I'd be very thankful!

Cheers.

@DeathLilly You need 2 switches for this project, and they could both be single pole, single throw, but Radio Shack tends to be limited in what they sell. I buy the "heavy duty" switches so that they have a better, and more durable feel to it. These tend to only be sold as DPDT. I am not a big electronics guy either, but I do understand the switches stuff (at least the switch that you need for this project). A single pole, double throw would be fine.

i was wondering where you found the 12v battery holder i checked radio shack but they dont have 12v

[kalessaradan]

@TheMagicChef24 Certain stores don't carry them, I found out the other day. Even though your Radio Shack may be a project store, some of those don't carry various LEDs, battery holders, etc. I suggest ordering it online. thanks!
