LED Lights for your board

They look great, shame the battery packs are so large!

 

I'm about to put some on my board, similar to the top amazon post. I'll let you know how it goes. I bought two 100cm strips to go on the underside but now I'm thinking I'll eventually buy a 200cm and put it the whole way round the edge of the board rather then underneath.

 

Keep us posted ;-)

 

Personally I think these kind of setups with LED lights create a christmas tree effect. I would rather invest in some nice back and front lights as I think having good sight at the road ahead and being visible is more important.

 

For fun stuff yes absolutely something to do. Imagine this one but with LED in the evening!

 

This one is also a cool one:

 

Alex for the fun of it I ordered one of the sets to check out the Tron effect

The battery pack is almost the thickness of the battery pack below the Evolve board so mounting would be fine. I just used some sticky tape to try the look and light output. The images give a good view of the setup but in my view the pictures even look better then in a real situation.



These are simply not strong enough to really make a difference in my view. The images show even more light output then in the real world.

 

Yep, below the board is of no use. On top is also a no go, you will probably after a few rides kick them loose or damage them very quickly. The only option also for visibility would be the side but I think you have to figure out how to glue/stick them to the edges. I think the only way to really do this in a nice way is to make a small incision so they would sit flush. Not sure if you want to to do this with the board.

The one I ordered:

I would probably go for LED below the board. This gives way more light and also has a nicer effect.....I ordered some to play around with in my home (backlight for my desk) and will try them also on the board and post some pics.

 

Does not look pretty with all the soldering and stuff but at night it gives a decent amount of light and also evenly spread.


Here with an option to stick LEDs to the side (I would not prefer this option)


And the simple approach with some double sided tape and sticky LEDs

 

Check my post here....these LEDs are very bright and mounting seems an easy job.

How would LED lights look on my Evolve Bamboo GT skateboard?

 

Which ones did you buy in the end, they look good!
