Lullaby for Grown-Ups - LED Throwies


What is an LED throwie? It's simply an LED light, battery and magnet. They'll stick to any surface that has a sufficient amount of iron, such as the building facade in this video. Young people like to use these inexpensive lights to brighten up their neighborhoods, creating their own artistic statements with light.

Technically, LED throwies are considered a form of graffiti. But I have to say, if someone put these up in my neighborhood, I'd be all right with that. I might even help pick them off after they burned out.

Relax and enjoy this video. The song is Heartbeats, performed by Jose Gonzalez.
