Flashy Clothes
Be dazzling.

Some shirts come with LED arrays, allowing the display of shiny logos or animations. Looks neat, but mainly in the dark. I want something more flashy! Picture a jacket with built-in flash modules (xenon tubes in thin, transparent plastic casings), setting your torso and arms ablaze.

Flash frequencies are set to "random" by default, but you can switch to "movement sensitive" and enhance your body language with well-timed bursts of bright light.

The "music mirroring" mode is sure to give your clubbing panache a boost, as your body flickers to the ambient groove.

There are many more examples of similar, lighting up clothes [xenzag, Mar 19 2007]

       Didn't hippo, or stf3 or one of those other smart brits post an idea very similar?

       Mr Piddlesworth seems to have actually built a flashsuit. Without all the bells and whistles, but still.

       [xenzag], thanks for the cool link, but those are precisely LED array shirts. No flashes.
