Title: Glow Stick Perimeter Alarm
Post by: JohnyMac on July 11, 2013, 05:56:22 PM

BRILLIANT!

I have done similar but with musket caps on a nail. When the bail closes on the cap the alarm goes boom!  :dancingGrenade:

Yeah. You can use different colors for different perimeter ranges. But the downsides are the glow stick will need to be replaced often and if the bad guy is near it he could pocket it before you see it.

As you wrote Ken, "if the bad guy is near it he could pocket it before you see it" true however nothing is ever perfect.  ;)

I like your different color for different range idea :thumbsUp:

Cool idea, you could also use some plastic tubing to cover the glow stick and only allow the light to be seen from your side

One thing i was trying to think of is a way to have the trip line also crack the glowstick. It will be good for longterm and the bad guy wont see the light immediatly.
