April 26, 2006
My high speed has been down at home for a week and couldn't get pics downloaded. And god knows I'm not doing it at WSU in my studio with dial up. But here are some pics of the "fireflys" being constructed at Henrion. Each of the pics are listed from left to right below. All together there were 50 "fireflys" constructed, 48 will be used in the installation.
1. Cutting the LED wires down to cut down on heat shrink tube.
2. Cutting heat shrik.
3. Using soldering flux on the wires.
4. Soldering the wires to the LED posts.
5. Affixing three pieces of heat shrink on the fireflys. One on each LED terminal post and ove around both wires to keep from pulling apart.
6. Pile of finished "fireflys".
7. "Firefly" detail.
