I've done a bit more investigation into these fluorescent lights. It turns out I have some at home at varying sizes so I can bring them in. There are some problems with using them though:
- they are glass and shatter easily
- when they shatter it's into many pieces, because of the fluorine inside them, so they are dangerous and can get in eyes and so on
- they will be difficult to hook up to a power source to work because they need the cases that contain the electricity as well as acting as a holder and safety device (think the lights at school). I think these holders are called tombstones
- because they are made of glass they aren't particularly strong, structurally
Anyway, I can bring them in in varying sizes, but I'll try and find LEDs that will be stronger (not in rope form) and less dangerous.
