I cannot tell you how excited I was when I saw that Partners & Spade had created a book with a similar intent as mine. They would be my dream collaborators.
There has been much trial and error with this project. One of the biggest tasks I faced was finding the right materials to work with this primarily pertained to the lights. I have tested almost every light possible from wiring my own LEDs, using battery operated tea lights, and even tire lights.
The lights that I am now using are mini-flashlight key chains that I found on Ebay in a lot of 100. Its simple, cost efficient, and easy to work with.
Below are the lights I have worked with throughout the project:
