I had about a dozen pieces of this back in the day. I particularly well remember a squat party where I put 6 lengths along the ceiling of a coridor and another 6 along the floor in the opposite ditrection. Made it seem like the corridor was tumbling forwards and totally fucked up your balance and coordination.

A bit like Strobe flowers, there will never be a "modern equivilent" but there are lots of less deadly options, Pixel Tape, even some of the better segmented batterns could all do the "arc-line" thing but you'll never have the fun of 1200mm of springy tinned copper (AKA BARE) wire connected directly to rectified mains wandering about on you bench as you try fault find a 4017 decade counter run hilariously off +340V line with +335V as earth....
What could go wrong????? |

I was rather fascinated with arcline when I started out in this line of work not too long ago. I often hired it out when I could for our student night club and have fond memories of making IEC extensions for it and accidentally cutting though a lead when connected to the controller. The rectified mains made for a decent flash and left a rather nice circular hole in my wire cutters. Live and learn, right?

Nice sparkly christmas job in today! Out with the scope and isolation transformer for fault finding. Not for the inexperienced unless you're tired of life.
