No you're not missing something, it's like electronic graffiti.

I think the whole point is to do something that doesn't damage a building but instead beautifies it for a while :confused:

That's quite an old idea, I did something very similar 4 years ago.

I quite like this, its original and looks kinda fun. Except it would cost a bomb to make large quantity.

And then becomes useless litter. In one of the links it says the NYPD like them and don't mind people throwing them around. I very much doubt that. The fact is, it is littering whether they're easy to remove or not.

in the grand scheme of things, they're hardly a major litter source are they, just have a look at the pavement next time you go out, bet there's more McDs wrappers and chewing gum than LED throwies!

Seeing LED throwies all over the place wouldn't bother me in the slightest (they look quite cool) but I'm just saying in the eyes of the law it's still litter.

the idea is you bin them oir recycle them when they are dead.....

It'd make sense to reuse the magnet and LED, so all you'd need to replace would be the battery.

I'm so going to be making loads of these.

Got to find somewhere steel apart from work too. Liking the idea of 2 on a thread over an overhead line a la old trainers

*goes off hunting with a magnet*

Isn't that what you should do with everything else? Do people always do that?
