Problem: Chemiluminiscence is not lasting thus the shirt would only glow for a short period of time ( a few days etc)

Solution: We have come up with an idea of using christmas tree lights for the glowing segment. Christmas tree light bulbs are light and not bulky thus it most suits for our project. We are using sunlight as the source of energy to make it eco-friendly, so we are thinking of installing solar panels to the shirt as it absorbs sunlight and reserves it as energy. Here comes the problems; How are we going to prevent the light bulbs from getting spoilt when washing? Are there bulbs that are water-proof? Are the light bulbs and solar panels too heavy and bulky to put onto the shirt? Is the price reasonable? How do we install the light bulbs and solar panel into the shirt?

If our idea of using christmas tree lights fails to work, we would probably use chemiluminiscence as the glowing segment, although it would only last for a short period of time. Problems again; Can we make the chemiluminiscence in the laboratory? Will other people want it if we sell them?

Both solutions have big problems, which are we going to use?
