[SML] Illuminated prop cel phone question

[Dale Farmer]

Find someone with an old cell phone they no longer use and are willing 
to donate to the cause.  and the charger.  If it gets broken, have a 
spare or three.  at the end of the production, take the old phones to 
one of those kiosks at the shopping malls that gives you money for your 
old cell phone.

   There are luminus films.  The battery powered ones I've seen used a 
9v battery and a power supply that chopped the DC to 400 hz ac which the 
fabric needs.  Perhaps you can remove the backlight from an old cell phone?
