Note: Again, this idea has been abandoned…

Laying the LED strips down the center of the blade seems easy enough but I can see a bunch of issues:

• Are they close enough to the seedpods to actually light them up?
• The strips themselves are going to be too bright, overwhelming the visuals.
• The strips might have to be in the upper half of the blade.

I’m wondering if we really need all these LEDs. Maybe a fiberoptic cable with one shrouded LED would be enough.

So this is where I’m at right now, rather disappointed. I going to try the fiberoptic idea, but I doubt if that’s the solution.

One obvious solution is to put an LED into each individual pod, but that would mean redesigning the whole sculpture and it would make it way too expensive to make. Also there are no ways to get low-voltage wires up to the seedpods.
