looks like, but you will
not be able to add anything.
Paintball-sized foam balls, the same mass as standard garden-variety welt-making devices. Contains 6 orthogonally-oriented leds powered by a small battery.
Mix them into your hoppers, but not until you pull the plastic interruptor out of each one you intend to use - thereby allowing the circuit
to be completed and powering up the lights.
Not recommended for nighttime use if you have a clear paintball hopper - your gun will light up like a christmas tree. A christmas tree that wants to be shot.
(Edited to refine circuit breaker tech)

I thought about LED's, but I have an affinity to glowsticks from raves in my past. |

Glow sticks are the way and then your enemy will be easier to hit again, but do people really play this in the dark? |
