The Arc Reactor is from Thingiverse with some minor modification from me (light choice). I designed a chest holder for elastic straps and made a small back piece to keep it all together.
Between lights, copper, elastic and all that, it cost me about $15 to make.
I used el glow wire from Amazon. Just one would have been fine for this.
Copper is just small gauge jewelry wire, and I glued everything instead of trying to hunt down some screws. The ones in the picture are printed bolt heads just for the look.

The El Wire worked pretty well, but when I put it on flashing they flashed at different speeds. Though it did have a neat effect.
Good luck!

The 5 pack of EL wire I ordered just got here yesterday and I was actually giving the other 4 out to my crew so our packs can be dope AF. EL wire looks a lot better in low light situations since it isn't a strip of lights but rather the entire strand is lit so it isn't as annoying to others o_O
I haven't secured mine yet but either pins or tape will be my go to.
I bought these when they were $25 but I've been really happy with them.

I bought at the store. They had them in blue and orange. Considering it's only a small step up from a dollar store, I wouldn't have much faith in their online offerings.
From the looks of it, I think this pack on amazon is the exact same thing, judging by the shape of the control box. The wire is much longer, too. The only thing it's not is orange. There's this thing, which has a different controller box.

This is what we use. I just clip the battery pack on the back of the inside of the band and use binder clips to run it around the top of the band, you can also just wrap it around it and hook the end into an s link on the basket. we've been using the same batteries for 6 weeks now and they stay on for the whole round. We do two rounds of 9 holes.
