that would be great for a few minutes but what do u do when the glow wears off? reel the board in everytime you need to charge the strips? just use reflective tape it works great, get yourself a decent led flashlight or a lantern to shine out to check on them everyonce in awhile. that refelctive tape works great, oh make sure you put it on the inside of the board . let me know if thatworks for ya
