Light up goggles?

Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone know of an online manufacturer that would make light up goggles?

Something similar in looks with this:




I'd like it to light up so one could see the light from the audience, but that I can still see through.

Could you make your own with a small battery pack and a couple of LEDs?

I've never messed with LEDs before, but I'd be willing to try so long as I don't electrocute myself.

there's a mod online for installing LEDs for these. the mod is for the entire lense, but maybe you could do just a ring around lense leaving the middle open?

Low voltage, low current, very little danger.

You aren't afraid of AAAs are you?

You couldn't get electrocuted by the kind of LEDs you would use here if you tried.

Scope out the LED thread started here a while back for ideas and suggestions on LEDs.

Ask Les Claypool, he had some crazy awesome light up goggles on when I saw him playing with Oysterhead.
