This mod is much cheaper than tracer units (not to mention that a tracer unit won't work on the Splatrball blasters), and is powered off of the blaster battery, so you don't need to worry about charging yet another device. It uses a simple, cheap UV LED, a 220 ohm resistor (for 2s 7.4V battery), and some wires. Wires with a connector are better, because it will make it easier to service the blaster in the future. Very simple to DIY for fun nighttime play.
