This production from the start had the design concept of integrating as many lighting elements into the costumes and props utilized by the fairies in order to give them a sense of otherworldliness, which made them more distinct from the Athenians.

The designer asked for as bright a light as possible to be integrated into something that could be worn by Puck, so when he used his magic the designer could have light come from Puck's hands to visually show the magic occurring. To facilitate this I found these 4 colored, high power, LED chips. These are the kind of surface mounted LEDs used in theatrical fixtures, and LED flashlights.

After soldering the wires onto the chips, I sealed the entire surface and connection points in water resistant sealant, to protect the electronics from sweat and debris. Once the sealant had completely cured I measured the distance from the actor's palms to where a copper plate chosen by the designer was to be located in the gauntlets. We utilized the copper plate as a decorative element, which also served the purpose of providing a heat sinking surface for the resistors utilized for each LED in the chip. I attached each resistor to points on the copper marked by the Costume Designer with heat transferring adhesive, and then ran each wire to the resistor, encasing each wire in black heat shrink tubing to give the wires a unified look, and to prevent the colored wires from drawing attention to themselves. The chip was then attached to an aluminum plate with heat transferring adhesive. This plate both provided a surface to send excess heat into, as well as serving as a surface the Costume Designer could you to attach to the gauntlet.

Once this was all done the parts were integrated into the gauntlet, and a 4-channel RC4 Wireless dimmer and it's battery were attached, hidden in the body of the gauntlet.
