So, my friend and I are building sound activated LED strip helmets for Bonnaroo. Here's the first helmet after night one of building.

Woo. Three weeks.

3 months go I was in hot pursuit of a Daft punk LED helmet for Bonnaroo. I then realized what I was looking for was going to cost me somewhere in the range of 750-2000$. And that's not even knowing if the damn thing would fit my huge Mellon comfortably. Building is the was to go, but I have enough hobbies right now. Cocaine is a hell of a drug

Hats off to you guys!

Ordered all the parts between hitlights.com and amazon. All told (helmet included) it came out to just about $100.

Yeah, I was looking for the same thing. Had to settle on something affordable and customizable. A Daft Punk helmet would be my dream though.

You can expect to see us around Pretty Lights, Boys Noize, and probably Wolfgang Gartner.
