Need help from technicians: how to create a fiber optic-lit toilet brush?#1

Posted: 6/20/10 at 6:25pm

I am assisting in research for a production where we need to create toilet brushes where the wires are fiber optic lights. Anyone have any experience with this lighting source that can offer assistance?

There's gotta be a cheap way to duplicate the fiber optic flash lights that are common in theme parks:

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Cheapest way really would be to buy some of those and cannabalize them. That's what we did for fairy wands for a production of Iolanthe that I did some years ago.

There are a lot of websites that sell fiber optic and glow stick type novelties at whole-sale prices.
