DIY LED Light Panel - $6

Update:  I just did a little soldering and was easily able to combine the single beam led with the other four.  Now it appears my light output has almost doubled!

Hey everyone, its been a while, but I am back.  I wanted to share with you a simple light panel I designed.  Its cheap and easy to build.  It uses three led lights I purchased at Dollar Tree, a tupperware container with a clear lid and a velcro set with sticky sides.

Since Knoptop did such a great job with his write-up on this, I am going to refer you to check out his site:  http://knoptop.com/quick-fx/6-dollar-light-panel

To add to this build, I may create an updated version.  Possibly combining the first led light with the other four, which should result in a good light boost.  Anyway, here is the build, thanks for checking it out!

HelmetCam

Say hello to the HelmetCam. Now to come up with some cool first person stuff. Glad I got the motivation to finish it. I got the helmet for $3 and essentially had to replace old padding, paint helmet, clean it, and add a liner, which may need some more work. Anywho, fun times ahead!
