Light yourself up, the survival guide means it literally

We cannot see you in the dark, the survival guide says, and it tells people to use EL wire or LED lights to decorate your outfits. Theme dress is encouraged across the event, and nudity is permitted only in Zones 5 to 8, so what you wear and how it lights up both matter more here than at a normal festival.

This page lists EL wire, LED, and costume retailers you can order from before you fly in. There is no lead form here, since costumes and lighting ship rather than deliver locally.
