Title: Dank New Taping Accessory
Post by: grider on June 05, 2007, 01:45:05 PM
I don't know if anyone else has seen this product, I caught it in a Lowe's hardware store flyer, its a baseball cap that has two high powered LED lights mounted under the bill and pointed directly forward spaced about two inches apart, like a vehicle's headlights, Lowe's sells them in black for $14.97, if the lights are bright enough these caps would rock for taping in very dark conditions, made by Panther Vision and known as the Panther Vision Lighted Hats

According to their site, there's an on/off switch on the back on the hat.  I'm guessing it's part of the size adjuster.

I've seen the same thing for sale in a clip-on version you can use on any hat.

Sorry, no link handy

Somebody stole my design lol... I built 6 hats with ultra bright white led's that lit of the face of some dancers for a show. All the stage lights would go off and the dancers would hit a small switch on the side of the hat and it would light up like a Christmas tree. I should have got a patent :)

I got to check one of these out at my local lowes and they are pretty kewl.  However, they should sell them with out the logo, that alone is enough to keep me from buying one.

I used to make LED jewelry for chicks in the 80s.
It was so New Age.
We used to laugh when they worried if the AA pack would give them shocks.
