Light Up Your Transportation

For fun and safety add lights to your mode of transportation to your Burner transportation. Bikes are an obvious favorite, but you may decide to register a Mutant Vehicle with the event and light that baby up! Battery Powered lights are an easy option for going simple. Rope lights and flex strip lighting is a better option if you have a large area to cover and want to make a big impact. Using rope light mounting clips you can attach rope lights to most surfaces.
