I wanted to get into glow staff building for staff spinners. Much like what you've made but with a totally plain hilt with a thin tube of silicone over it for grip. I played with a breadboard and built a simple strobe circuit I found too as they look great in spinning staffs. However I ran out of capital so the project is currently on hold!!!
As for the whole "double staff in each hand" thing, NO problem. I do a lot of double staff spinning with fire. I use 4' firestaffs but I could get away with 5-6' in each hand I reckon. Obviously the hilts would have to be as short as possible to get more blade vs hilt length.
I had a play with a full double maul (7') in one hand and an anakin in the other last night. it was JUST about doable but the maul is SO f***ing long (and heavy after you've already done half hour of play) that it's really difficult.
I have seen a vid of this on youtube but TBH it was a bit lame. It mostly involved spinning one, with the other behind your back, then the other. There's better techniques for spinning with double staffs.
I'm gonna get back on the staff building project for my own benefit and just start really simple and build it up. No soundboard helps to keep the length down at least.
I've got a Ultrasound converted double maul (STEVE in each hilt) coming soon so I might try and do a short vid of a Maul in each hand (as I have a stock FX maul) just for a laugh. I'll post it if I do.
