Like I said, the Extreme Creatures set includes a fiber optic bundle for
just this purpose. But I'd probably use a micro Mag-lite with the top
removed. Very bright, non-directional.

My fear is you'll run into a few other issues with a hunter/hunted setup --
you'll have to have something fairly bright, and it'll have to be
non-directional. Do any of the Official Lego lights fit the bill?

| (...) I'm pretty sure that's not the purpose the fiber-optics are intended for -- they seem mostly decorational. Anyway, my point in all this negativity is not to knock people -- I'd just like to see what people have actually done in reality. (26 years ago, 3-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
