LED lights? Good grief! Smynx, when I was 17 and 18 I worked a boring job where I'd keep myself busy by assembling cables for technicians (RS232, null modem, IBM LAN, etc.) and after a while all the various parts presented challenges as to what other uses they might be good for. Hence, coaxial pipes. :) Of course, in an "emergency" (yeah, right) there was always your standard dented coke can with pinholes. ;)
