I'm actually making mine similar to these, but how are you powering them? Do you use batteries on the inside of the glowstick and then just use the wires to "complete" the circuit? or do you attach the batteries to the wires and tape them to the bottom? my plan is to make a more surefire way of keeping the batteries inside the glowstick and keep them from flying out when you swing them around. Also, I'm trying to find some micro switches so you don't have to tape/twist wires together to turn them on or off :P Also, I would not use the tinted LED's because they rob you of light and don't reproduce the colors effectively since they are just tinted plastic using white LED light. You can get more brightness out of a clear LED that has a diode of the desired color. but I do like the triple LED design. I did not think about doing it that way. i might try it now :P
