Blue LED Torches?

[Dr Stevil]

The GFP is green fluorescent protein and occurs naturally in  a sea anemone Aequorea victoria BTW there's info on it on this pretty cool site (Monterey Bay Aquarium)

Did any of you guys ever see the glow in the dark rabbit?
(Seriously!)

[Andy Phillips]

Yeh, and glow in the dark mice, bizzare, turn all the lights out and there you go, lots of mice all glowing a feint blue colour.

So these glow in the dark mice and rabbits,  would it be possible to put some in a transparent container and take them on night dives ?  

It could work out cheaper than snapsticks ;)

Can we have some scientific feedback on what would be more suitable,  1xrabbit = 10x mice etc....

I just spat my coffee.

We could use clear tupperware boxes, that should keep em alive for what 1/2 hour or so.

Maybe glow in the dark otters and dolphins that are trained to swim next to you thewhole time..?

Yeah, we could rig up a special type of dSMB (delayed surface marker bunny)
I've already gotten my coat...:outtahere:

Back t'point....

How about building your own array? It's not rocket science especially if you use the big 10mm LED's (This or similar) or get a DIY array kit

In the UK try http://www.4most.co.uk/opto_ele.htm or http://www.winpicprog.co.uk/pic_tutorial_led_board.htm

An aside,

Was in a shop over the weekend and was shown a torch utilising 3 white light LED's had a colour temperature of 6000 and an equivelant power output of 50W. All off three C cell batteries with a burn time of over two hours,

Cooooooooolllllll

Don't know if the following link is any use,

Aluminium, 30 metres water resistant.  Looks quite trick but is a bit expensive.
