I'm not after critique on the image just the light stick, I was just testing it. Mind you I did put a lot of effort into the shot lol. I made the light stick out of a broom handle and a £15 set of 5050 RGB LED's off Ebay. The way I have wrapped them round the broom handle has given it a strange staggered effect, I'm not sure if I like it or not. I can re-arrange them because they are only stuck on with double sided tape, but what do you think? I quite like the look of it when I did the rainbow shape but when it's coming towards the camera and the way the LED's go round the broom handle I'm not too sure, it looks a bit messy. I don't know whether that's because I'm crap at gadgets or because I tripped over the coffee table in the first picture. Either way I'm finding it hard to explain what I mean.
Also, when it gradually changes colour, the way the LED's dim it leaves dotted lines when you look closely, but I can't change that. I could make it shorter as well but I don't want to go cutting LED's off before I decide I like it or not.
Cheers.

Edit. It's looks a bit better when I do it more smoothly. Still not sure though.
