Longboard LED's

A friend and I were discussing ENDS101 last night. He was telling me about his project (for another professor) that he did. It involved putting a laser on the front of a longboard so that the person riding the board could see where he was going. It incited an interesting thought in my head - what if LED lights were attached to the bottom of the board, just as some choose to do to their cars for mere cosmetic purposes? The primary function would be cosmetic, of course, but it would also allow for increased illumination when riding at night.
