Looking for investors and/or electrical engineers for an invention of mine.

Hi, I want to build an invention of mine: RGB LED accent light to go underneath longboard skateboards for a cool effect on those awesome summer night rides that longboarders love. I'd send a large percentage of the profits (more than what I would get) to any investor(s) involved and we could even sign documents insuring this.

PRODUCT DETAILS: The RGB LED accent light would allow the user to choose any color to light up underneath the skateboard. Additionally the RGB LED unit would be capable of strobing any color chosen by the user, and finally, the user could choose the "Fusion Strobe" mode which is a strobe effect that cycles through the color wheel with each flash of light. Of course, any strobing effects would be modifiable to any speed, such as 1 flash per second to maybe 5 or 6 flashes a second.

I don't have a patent but I don't think I'd need one to make some good sales nationally and even globally.

What do you think?

I think PhotonLights would sue you.

Uh, no. They sell skateboards with lights already under them and you can't choose a color any day of the week. My unit is an upgrade for longboards that don't have any lights, NOT normal skateboards... LONGBOARDS. I am right!

You might want to run that by a patent attorney, or at least do some patent searching on your own.
Stay away from those companies that offer to send you an "inventor's kit" -- they are a rip-off.

Here are some safe places to start:

You can already buy RGB lamps with batteries, so what is your invention, besides a patch of double-sided adhesive tape?

I would guess that his invention would be the "customization of these lights and integration of light patterns and colors into music/rhytm, etc"

As in disco lights? Been here since the 70ties.

OK, fair enough: The particular application for skateboards does not seem to be on the market.
