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  :P

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

and i no i can get front lights from outdoor world :biggrin:

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
Title: Re: Light up your bocks!
Post by: Nero 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.

Post by: Dark Knight on March 12, 2008, 07:23:38 PM
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 .

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

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
(http://www.hardwarezone.com/img/data/articles/2004/1215/tutorial-4pin_molex_power_conn.jpg)
chop off the plug
00000000000000000___________________
leaveing 2 wires, grab a 9v battery(http://www.focusonprice.com/images/JD014.jpg)
 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

Post by: Spud 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..

I got reply to that email. The battery pack he made is quite small and powers a camera (dog cam) and a harddrive recorder thing for an hour. Cant remember exactly wat the battery pack thing is but all taht kit fits into the pocket in the glider so not big..ooh and they are using rechargable AA's. They charge in like 20 mins with this really cool charger.

Hi Spud
Yes, no problem.  It's a 12v system.  One could use a little battery pack 
like I use for the camera or even a smaller one as LEDs use so little 
current.

thats realy cool spud, what do you do


I freak out  :haha: well pretty much...just depends on audience. we have a few shows. The best is proberly our war of the worlds/brainbug one. Starts dark, lights go up and we all do diablo stuff (light up) next part of the show we do pio with cups of water on tray things...Its really cool exept when you knock yourself and soak everybody hehehe.

I then leave the stage, have 30 secs to snap all the glosticks on my trousers put the boiling long sleeved top on, run around the back in time for brain bug then dance like a freak in complete darkeness. Apparently i look like an exploding fire work.  Brainbug works really well because of the rythem..I am dancing like aloony and as the music like freezes I do about 2mm from there faces hehehe. depending where I am i try to climb and jump off stuff too.

while I am doing that the other 3 are doing some awesome light poi stuff and diablo. it looks amazing when it all comes together.

unfortuanatly the group is over since 2 of the members left for the army  :'(

When bocking where it's dark it's hard to see where the hoof is landing.
I've used small bike lights but they never really gave me the light where I wanted it?
I've not tried this MOD out yet but it should light the hoof/ground better.

They look cool, but I think they are more show than practical.
The lights stick out from the footplate.. If you happen to fall forward, they will take the impact.
Also note, they only appear to light the general area of the hoof.
When your steps are 7 ft each, it is more important to see what is ahead.  Granted, not many people would 'run' in the dark ( :Dark_Knight:), and they will shine more forward when you step up...

More compact, and facing slightly forward at an angle would improve.

I took that with a phone camera so it doesn't give a true effect of the light.
If you look at the picture my foot also sticks out the far.
The rubber stopper the hoof hitting it.
I did say I was just seeing if it was usefull ?

It was raining and windy was I diddo much. This doesn't show the light very well but it's better then nothing and does help.

I was looking at getting some LED strips down the back of my springs (since they're a lot brighter than neons or cold-cathodes) but they drain batteries really fast. So the only good power source would be a some Li-Ion or Lithium Polymer battery packs, only catch is those packs are expensive, but are easily cheaper than constantly buying non-rechargables (and standard AA rechargables don't hold enough energy for extended use beyond 30 minutes). Oh... and they explode into a fireball if you get them wet.

Does anyone have any practical solutions for the power problem, or do they stick with AA-compatible (and less bright) illumination?

I do like the look of that footplate-mounted ground torch though :)

LED's don't drain power that fast !
The down lights I had last year lasted hours they had 20 LED's and used 4 AA rechargable.
I did have 60 LED versions on but I never had them on that long.

It's Xmas was I'm putting up trimmings again even better than last year.

The power in most batteries would never explode if they get wet !?

Good point but these are the little 0.5mW
But maybe it's not as good as idea as I first thought  :-\

Think they'd be alright there up much more than an LED if it did flash someones face if the fall I don't think it would be a be problem.
The othe way was to tape foam tubes to the front !?

Just found a video of my lights. Video doesn't pick the light up very well but is was really bright. Jelly had one at Camp Bock so you may know how bright there are.
But they are only 20 LED's the others are 60 LED's.

In my youth I bougth some wire from theas guy's before. I wanted that Neon underlit Bed look to impress the girls! lol.. An it did work, and its still glowing now... However I have a full time girlfriend now who wasn't that impressed but her 10 year old loved it an wanted some for his bed! I'm sure it'd work for Bocks you'd just need to make sure you got the battery powered stuff rather than the mains stuff.
