Is there anyway to make it red? I don't know anything about this stuff. It'd be really cool if it blinked red.

Please feel free to use my name, 'OP what kind of . . ' makes you sound like an arresting officer !
The sheet overlaps itself slightly as it wraps around the post (by 10mm or so) and where the two layers overlap I used double sided tape - this means I can take the post out of the frame and slide the light on and off if I want.

let's see your bag.
Can you get it to blink? That would be really useful.
What is the total cost for this? Under $20?
Thanks, it is a fun thing to do, I'd like to give it a shot sometime myself. Maybe part of my toptube or the seat-stays...
