just tried my sons size 9 (kids) and it was a little to small, perhaps a couple of sizes up and you could just buy the flashing kids shoes

i have been working on my stilts for ages equpiting them with spring covers and lights and my idea is head lights and red light for the bak with a few blue LED lights in the centre so then i cna see infront of me in the dark my mate has been testing some blue lights on his bock and it looks very good but because it isnt christmas the pound shop ent selling lights

does anyone no were i can get 2 stringed sets of LED lights in blue

I have got a nice little way to put red leds up the back of the spring for night time use, and going to use leds on the front for head/feet lights

Nero · « **Reply #10 on:** March 12, 2008, 05:41:03 PM »

want a race to finish the spring led tutorial sx?
ive been thinking of the same idea in the same place so it would be interesting to see how each other goes about it.

I am waiting to get some parts back atm

A good idea is to pionting a light down from uder the footplate to the front of the hoof. This light not only show what your standing on in the dark but show everyone where you are, standing on stilts mean you could look to be stand ( on foot ) somewhere else !?

If your thinking of a red light for the back you should mount it as high as you can ( the hight of bike lights ) . If you mount the back light low the quick moving stilts would canfuse people who are trying to workout what you are !?

If you just want some lights why not put them inside the frame !

Battery packs can either by a lead from your pocket and mounted on the outside of each frame near the bottom of the 'L' . You could use a jack plug to the batteries means you can remove them from the stilts quickly .

Spud · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2008, 11:42:57 AM »

Wow does look perfect..do they take batteries?

Nero · « **Reply #20 on:** April 03, 2008, 11:47:40 AM »

no they are on a 4 pin molex, like the plug that powers most dvd drives, but there will only be + and - pins in it i guess so chop it off and add a power source

hmm confusing..If you get these and do it a tutorial would rock

Nero · « **Reply #23 on:** April 03, 2008, 11:56:38 AM »

i think i can do a photo tut now for ya...
if...
000000000000000000___________________E
^^thats the lights......and thats the plug^^^
plug will look like this but only with 2 wires, one positive one negative

chop off the plug
00000000000000000___________________
leaveing 2 wires, grab a 9v battery

and try one end of the wire on the + and one on the -, if it dont light up try the other way round, it may only light them up dim with one 9v so perhaps you could chain a couple together, this could honestly be done with no soldering, just electrical tape and wire trims

Spud · « **Reply #24 on:** April 03, 2008, 11:59:39 AM »

ooh ok thanks nero..I think these may be worth getting..If I cant do it I know somebody who will find a good solution hopefully. I might drop him an email now..
