I would think if you move the LEDS quickly you can use the "persistence of vision" affect to your advantage. Have them spin.

You can try the tube. It sounds simple and cheap to play with.
You might also use a 555 timer and a counter or some other TTL chips to play around with. Be sure to current limit the LEDs. 15-20ma should be ok for testing.
