Hello!
I’m primarily a woodworker, so I’m a complete foreigner in this field- apologies for any blasphemy in advance.
I had a personal project in mind to make a cool warlock/wizard type of staff with two skulls embedded in the gnarled wood. My idea was that when I would hit the staff against the ground, the eyes of the skulls would start glowing and flickering. Finding an LED with a sophisticated flame simulation was easy enough, but the impact activation is proving to be a bigger challenge.
I know it’s possible because I have this firefly jar thing. The sensor activates the firefly when you tap the glass and is even sensitive enough to turn it on if you hit the shelf it’s standing on:
What I need is a sleek solution to this lighting issue so that I can tuck the lights, sensor and batteries inside the staff without it being too cumbersome or complex. Attached is a sketch of how I want it to look.
I would appreciate any help and advice- thank you!!
