Now onto the electronics...
1. Building on the cheap - desoldering the LED lights from the circuit-board of the head of an old torch.
2. Re-wiring each LED for use inside the helmet.
3. Cut-outs for the eyes. Lenses - old broken Oakley sunglasses. Surrounds - milk carton plastic covered in black electrical tape.
4. Lace mesh from an old gift decoration. Sandwiched between lens and plastic surround.
5. View from behind illuminated lens.
6. Bonding silicone to secure and seal the eye lenses in.
7. Front view of completed lens.
8. Test illumination with a single LED light. There will be two LEDs per eye.
