Daft Punk replica helmet - LED test

(Check out http://www.flickr.com/photos/skevine/sets/72157625113279937/ to see the making of the helmet)

Here's a short test of an LED scroller in a replica of Thomas Bangalter's helmet from Daft Punk.

The LED board was taken from inside an LED belt buckle, just like you might find at a mall kiosk or a novelty store.

Looks like something you'd buy from a flea mart

@foah201 Wow, if only it had been that simple...

[ulmboy556]

how did you get the shine?

[skevine76]

@ulmboy556 It's just naturally shiny, as it's covered in plastic mirror sheets that are cut to fit over the underlying structure. The dome of the helmet is the top of a chrome bicycle helmet, so that's got its own mirror-shine to it as well.

[skevine76]

@norchaaa No, it's a standard printed circuit board that the LEDs are attached to, so there's really no way to see through the thick green plastic. You might be able to see the sun through it, but that's probably the best it's gonna get...
