Are these ping pong balls strong enough to be cut. I'm wanting to put lights inside.

Yes, I purchased them for exactly the same thing! Using a sharp razor knife you can make an X with the knife and slip the ping pong ball over a small led or incandescent string type lights. Excellent value and a super product!

I think they would work fine for lights. I thought I would try them for that purpose since they didn't work so well for puppet eyes.

I haven't cut any of the ping pong balls because they are, you know, Ping Pong Balls. If you use a dremel, I would imagine it would be fine. Tablesaw? Probably not a good idea. I would suggest a high energy laser for cutting, because that sounds coolest.

Yes, I think they would work on a light table. They are awesome to play with and build with.

The balls that come with are just a little smaller than Ping-Pong balls, but they would probably work, as would some of the small nerf balls (we had some from nerf gun) or other small balls, the "catcher" will accommodate a larger ball.

Yes, they aren't that heavy so if you had some fairly strong tape like Jen suggested that should work fine. However, you might have trouble changing the batteries- I think the light needed to be removed for that.

I'd say they're strong enough for a decent duel, hard enough to cue the sounds, but at the same time I would never be swinging it at full strength, its only a hard plastic tube with LED lights inside

Hi Melody, yes, they are soft and flexible. Just a light foam "baton" with the LED electronics inside. I'm a professional dj and use them at many of our dances/parties. However, just so you know, they won't really hold up well with "play fighting." What will happen is that the foam plug at the end of the baton will come out if they are hit too hard, and then the wiring falls out, making them essentially worthless. They are a lot of fun, there are 3 "functions" for the flashing lights, but definitely not a heavy duty "play sword." Neil Carlberg, Too Much Fun!

Completely white, but they aren't ping pong balls. They are cheap plastic white balls, not good for ping pong. There is a seam all around where the two halves are fused together.

Supposedly. They're designed to be cut to length. But if it's for outdoor use, they don't hold up well so make sure its not a big project to put them up. There should be instructions included that describe where to cut the lights so that they'll still work.

I would say yes. They generate little to no heat and are very light weight. Make sure that you leave clearance on the back of the light. The lights are about 2.5" deep. The blue spring loaded clips are not so strong as to smash a tile.

I bought these for night lights although they can be used in Christmas light strings. Check your light string-it may take a C9 which is larger

I'm not sure if they will be safe to use outside. You probably can, but I use them inside for my night lights.

Yes and no. The light strips when cut in its proper segments have a small smooth section where a connector could slide over. The other option is to take a small pin where the smooth connection and push out the small indented hole and use a soldering iron and your own wire and connect them that way.

You could put duct or electric tape over the lights. You could open the case and cut the leads to the lights. If you use it in a family room/man cave put something in front of it to block the lights.

Yes. They are like pieces of furniture - lights beautiful. Our only complaint is that they need to be constantly recharged before use - we have five near the pool -

I don't know. They were the perfect size for my lamp. They're made of a pliable plastic, so you'd have to be very careful to not crease them when cutting them.

Yes, they can be cut and I have cut them without any issue. No soldering required. I think it's 3 LED's per section.

They are really light. We use them for inside ball play all the time. They have not been a problem for my toddlers. They are not like Nerf balls; they are light like styrofoam but soft like sponges.
