[Vanhackspace] This week at VHS

[Dallas Luther]

If you want to bring LEDs and batteries, that would be fine, we can help get
them up and running! Lee's sells very bright 1 watt RGB LEDs for $9, which
would work nicely in most conditions. Add a couple of AA's in a battery
holder and a switch, and you have a nice little LED light.
