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.

UM lights NOTWMore about Dancing In Cool Neon Electroluminescent Wire!

We got a note from our client, Andrea Aranda, who is producing a show in San Francisco, in which she and her troupe will be performing in their EL wire costumes, and they got all of the wire and connections etc. from Cool Neon!

They used custom soldered High Bright 2.6mm Cool Neon wire and Big Boy Drivers with Switch to create these costumes.
We think they are fabulous!

Screen Shot 2014-12-27 at 9.17.20 AMIt is such a delight to be able to share what was a top secret project. Ariana Grande and Little Big Town were the hit of the Country Music Awards ceremony with their fabulous outfits we made for them using our double density RGB LED light roll, by none other than Cool Neon’s own, Benny James! We are pretty excited!

And here is a video!

The costumes got a lot of press. We especially like the Billboard mention, click HERE to see it, and they even mention Katy Perry’s costume, which was also made right here in our workroom.  E! Online also gave the costumes a shout out and also referenced Katy’s costume, click HERE to read it.

It has been an exciting year and we love sharing it with you.
