LED stefans?

Recently my interest in nerfs has been relit as everyone in my office has them and we engage in nerf skirmishes on a daily basis. Most of us have modded our guns if only to remove the air restrictors.
I was thinking of making some stefans to try out in my modded maverick rev-6 (rem air restrictors, 4 pennies behind spring, total barrel removal). I was thinking it would be cool to find a way to make light up darts and wondered if anyone has used an led and battery for weight in a stefan and to make it light up?

It's possible for sure, but the thing is, assuming you can find a watch battery cheep and small enough to use, by the end of your war, the battery is dead.

A nice solution for this is to use the internals of a light-up buzz bee missile. I'm actually placing them inside a dart as I type.
If two powerful is a problem then just go with one powerful. I guess this style of hopper will work even beyond three powerful..

Don't worry so much about what other people will allow. Throw your own wars and kick your friends' asses until they all want one.

I realize that it would be way to much weight for a dart. With that being said it confuses me how Nerf used their glowing dart for the firefly.That's far too much weight to load a dart with.

So its basically the dart itself rather than a light, right?The firefly darts uses a sticker that wraps around the dart

There is a sticker, akin to a Post-it, that wraps around the dart. This is also glow-in-the-dark.
So basically, it's not gonna light up by itself. The Firefly "supercharges" the glow element right before firing with a flash.

Thanks, it really makes perfect sense now. Although it would be nice to create stefans just like this, I think that may be impossible due to the fact that stefans do not use suction cups.What the Firefly darts are: Normal suction dart with thinner-than-normal foam, all-white in appearance. The suction head has glow-in-the-dark colouring in it.
