Photon Skateboards Get Undercarriage Lighting
January 10th, 2008
The latest in skateboard tech, these Photon Light Boards let you hit the streets after dark thanks to their brilliant built-in illumination.
Whether you’re just a hot shot and want to show off your moves, or you’re sick of taking a face plant on the curb when skating in the dark, the LED skateboards are sure to draw attention. Depending on the model, you’ll get anywhere from 29 to 54 bright LEDs embedded into the wood deck.
The boards are fabricated out of Canadian 7-ply hard-rock maple, and include grip tape and a thin lithium ion rechargeable batter mounted under a protective plate on the bottom of the board.
Photon sells Light Boards either as a standalone deck, or as a complete skateboard with trucks and wheels. Prices range from $110 for a deck to $200 for a fully-outfitted skateboard.

This is the time …
Once you get lit, you will never go back to an old non-lighted board
HEY these boards are fully Grindable and skateable – They dont break – the LEDS are incased in Hard resin and the in-the-wood installation protects them from the harshest skating
this skateboard is like a car with neons flashing at its under chassis. well its powered by a battery so expect for a bit heaviness on your board.
!!!good point!!! you sound very smart lets chat up sometime
THEAS BOARD ARE FRECK-IN SWEET
I SOO HAVE TO GET 1
i have one of these boards, mones green, i love it, no one around where i live has ever heard of such a thing, its hilarious some of the expressions i see when i ride that beast around, i know i can grind on it and do tricks like any other board but im so scared of breaking it, even though it wont haha, i highly suggest getting one, whether your a hardcore skater or just lookin for wheels to cruz on, and if you buy one try gettin some clear polyurathane wheels so the light makes them glow, its a cool efect, ps the ladies love it hahaha
