Yeah well it's got -- excel or under it which senses playing motion either picking your strumming.
-- after slow and that excel robber drives the bank of LED NS -- -- so that I -- router.
Essentially that creates a link between the lights and the music that's being played.
Which with.
The nearly instantaneous response times means that it can kind of -- we -- you slow down your -- -- speed of -- the flashing light -- the rhythm of the music.
Pretty smoothly.

Kind of undertaken LED guitar -- idea and just make it blow minds we're just talking about it launch Monday and we found -- sensing -- like.
-- -- and now and having had.
You know finger can have that -- known -- thinking like flashing guitar plays that and we wanna take one step further you know have liked.
No event and we guitar pick a flash is an instrument and we had a generic rechargeable lithium ion battery for -- to think -- -- -- -- --

Worked out and NASA we have a fifteen millimeters battery inside me and my -- really thin -- forward if for example this is the new prototype of cancer or -- -- going to be the production thickness that I mean if you northern component the board itself is a quarter millimeters thick.
And the a prototype boards about one point five -- thicker than submit and -- third Boardman Andy.
I have continued to have. Offers resting.
Okay.
What is the battery life.
On the page along the battery lasts along with -- to charge you speak. Truth.
The battery life is really dependent on you know how -- we have -- -- if there's you know if you do you know.
95% of the power and the plane you know and the plan.
