In the Whispers episode with all the creepy blind hybrids, the team had these really cool LED Lights with a blade at the end. Are those real? If so, is it possible to get one?

I do believe that Joe M who wrote this episode and was on set most of the time, said that they were made by the props team...but I could be wrong...he did a scene by scene breakdon of the episode
In the first draft, I had the team use flares which, I thought, would have looked mighty cool in the fog. Unfortunately, they turned out to be a problem. For starters, they’re a potential fire hazard - especially when you’re shooting on a sound stage carpeted with dry wood and mulch. Second, the smoke they give off is apparently toxic. Who knew? Finally, they’re noisy - so it wouldn’t make much sense for the team to use flares unless they wanted to draw the creatures right to them. So we opted for the chem flares (production-friendly, unique to Stargate chem flares compliments of Production Designer James Robbins). The conceit is that, unlike the flashlights or radios, these flares are contained units, chemical in nature (which is why Sheppard shakes them to turn them on), and thus unaffected by the fog.
So, based off of that...no, you can't find them anywhere...
Though to me, they looked more like LED lights inside then chemicals...because I think they actually were LED's, and it's not so much a blade on the end, but a spike of sorts. wouldn't mind some myself though...

Infrared is where it's at. And even that is becoming a little antiquated now.

They were lights that doubled as stakes. Very fitting for fighting monsters in fog, eh? Stakes fit right into the horror movie theme of the episode.Last edited by nx01a; 15 September 2008, 04:58 PM.sigpic

Weird. I could have sworn there were most posts in this thread. Anyway...
You want a Flashback(R) LIght Baton. Check out www.LSS.com. They come in red, blue, white led lights.They don't come with stakes (obviously added by the props guys) but if you want one, here's the place to go.
