Illuminated Boots!

Illuminated BootsWe are so happy Matt sent us this video of his fabulous boots that he created using Cool Neon’s Total Control Lighting.

Matt used TCL lights and our TCL “Gate-way” 512 Controller (TCLCG512) to create his illuminated boots. And he sent us some tips we want to share with you:

  • I’m using the four D batteries case with a extra long Y shaped cord you guys made me to go down the back of my legs.
  • I used Velcro + super glue to attach the velcro to the boots and lights so I can take them off if need be. I used the super glue because the heat from the Playa started to melt the sticky backing of the Velcro and would start to come off during the day. So the glue keeps it from coming off.
  • I wrapped the wires in-between the pixels with black electrical tape for two reasons.
    1. To help fortify the wires and make them more sturdy and not bend as much.
    2. To make them black and less visible.
    I’ve had them on the Playa 2 or 3 times so far and I have only had to replace them once.

So Matt, thanks for sending us this fun video and maybe we will cross paths on the Playa.

Cool Neon CAT-09

Yes, this has been to the Playa

Have you ever wondered how our products might do after the Playa? Are they still working?
Well guess what, the answer is YES!

Cool Neon’s CAT-09 vs the Playa!

Cool Neon's CAT-09

This is what it looked like before it was opened

We got a note from our client Chris the other day, and he sent us photos of the CAT-09 driver  he had removed from a project, after returning from the Playa… and it was still working!  

We are so pleased with this outcome! Thanks for letting us know Chris.

Keep those stories and photos coming people, we love them.

Zoot Suit Uses Total Control LightingWe just got this note from Frisco about his fabulous Zoot Suit, and we wanted to share it with you:

Hey Cool Neon:
I was just in your store and you asked me to send some pics of a project I made a few years ago, a zoot suit using Total Control Lighting. Thanks, and have a great Burn!

If you want to contact Frisco, you can reach him here: ricosuavezoot@gmail.com

Frisco used the Total Control Lighting square-based pixels in his zoot suit with an Arduino controller and a remote control pad that he programmed himself (in the days before we offered the TCL Mini Controller).

Zoot Suit Uses Total Control LightingWe love hearing from all of you about your projects. Please send pics or videos to: info@coolneon.com
