How Light Up Shoes Work - See What's Inside Sketchers Kids Litebeams

[@coolnegative]

Great video as always. What's nice about the simple led mechanism is that generic or store brand shoes can do it cheaply so that families who barely pay the bills can still get something that their kids friends have and not feel left out. Before you even said anything, I was thinking to myself how the mechanism looked like it was encased in resin😄. Glad to "see" you. Blessings.

[@DialedInDIY]

Thanks my friend! You make a good point about the cost effectiveness of the mechanism... I really don't think it adds much to the overall cost of production (at least in terms of cost of parts). This has truly been a different / odd year. Every time I think I'm able to get back into a good flow making projects and videos something new comes up that has a major impact on my "free time." But that seems to be the status quo in the world lately. That said (hopefully not jinxing anything) I think I am back on track.

@@DialedInDIY nice. I totally understand. Everybody seems to all of a sudden to catch up with everything they couldn't get done during covid. Some good, some bad.........lately, its been the same with me. Just constantly running around trying to keep the bigger "fires" under control while running around trying to stop the small ones before they flare up. 😄👍 Hope you're able to get back into your groove, video projects or not.

[@DialedInDIY]

Thank you very much. I always appreciate your upbeat, positive comments... I look forward to them! :-)

[@suemum4054]

Probably a bit different from your normal comments but I just wanted to say a massive thank you, I bought some Skechers recently for my 3 year old daughter but I would normally avoid at all costs anything with button batteries in for obvious reasons, I knew the shoes would have them in for the lights but you have calmed my anxiety and worry on how they are glued in the shoe and a child could never get to the battery itself … again thank you 😊

My 2-year-old child has a pair of Skechers Heart Light shoes. I noticed that the light on the left shoe has been continuously flickering without stopping for the past three days. Despite my efforts, I have been unable to locate an on/off or reset switch on the shoe. Could you please advise on how I might troubleshoot this issue?

[@jamesastra2503]

Buy another pair

[@AlessandrasFunPlace]

I’m so happy and now I have lights on my shoes 😁😁

[@Kthir10]

What is the sensor called exactly for this ? Im looking for these exact components but in smallest sizes possible.

[@DialedInDIY]

They are mechanical vibration switches / sensors. I found the following description on Adafruit: "These spring-vibration switches are high sensitivity non-directional vibration induced trigger switches. Inside is a very soft spring coiled around a long metal pin"

[@Kthir10]

also what are the exact measurment of the panel with battery? and what would it be without protection? im sorry for these questions, i know they are very specific lol, it would really help me out. :)

[@DialedInDIY]

No worries about the questions at all. Unfortunately I do not have exact measurements on these. I did a quick check to see if I had the part somewhere easy to find and I did not. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and post a comment / question. [So sorry for the delay... life kinda got in the way for a bit]

[@danielleharrison5765]

I got some from Christmas that's so cool their they are black with different shape in different colors and the colors of the lights are pink and blue

[@DialedInDIY]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my video and post a comment. I really appreciate it. Sorry for the delay in reply. I have been soooo slammed with "responsibilities" that I have not had time to tinker or even think about making videos. I'm trying to get back on track with a solid schedule again... and hopefully very soon!!

[@Fromwaaaydahntown]

Did you ever compile a list of the components within the epoxy? I want to assemble one of my own!

[@bonniefaestel3624]

I have a shoe that I can't get to stop flashing. My concern it could this start a fire?

[@mileschiltoncastulo3553]

The circuit is waterproof sealed. Now i know my daughter have Skechers twinkle toes washing it twice a month when get stinky because of her sweaty feet soaking in soapy water brushing with old toothbrush rines then sundry in the clothes line the lights still working

[@DialedInDIY]

That is some serious waterproofed circuitry! Thank you for taking time to watch my video and post a comment. I really appreciate it!

[@DRUNKFURY]

They make excellent bicycle tire lights

[@joeybaseball7352]

They need to make those shoes for adults.

[@catpaws007]

When I was 19, (42 now lol) I had a pair of light up shoes and I wore them to my first job. Assisted living facility. My ex boss still talks about them to this day lololol

[@boris1993]

Definitely!

[@alwayzbacon]

Because they don't, I'm trying to see if it's possible to convert the children's Skechers light system into the adult version.... Wife will be very happy and surprised if I can pull it off.

[@amalpradeep449]

That was awesome dude...❤

[@kahitano67]

Thanks for this design of being water proof because its children's shoes my daughter wearing Disney princess pink light up shoes she dont want to wear socks because its more comfortable without socks so the shoes is sweaty and stinky after a week no need to worry about lights broken because it us sealed i can wash my daughter shoes weekly then these shoes are quick drying after 4 hours wet newly wash then dries she wear it when it dries

[@jellydaraug7559]

Still available?

[@DialedInDIY]

If the question is whether the shoes are still sold in stores... then I can't say specific to this model but the brand still sells light up shoes. [So sorry for the delay... life kinda got in the way for a bit]

[@user-yi7zj3lv5t]

some had colored leds, these ones were white tho and had different flashing pattern

[@nandingpanelo]

Nice

[@DialedInDIY]

Thank you very much. 😀

[@nandingpanelo]

@@DialedInDIY welcome. I was guessing mercury made it light up. Tnx

[@DialedInDIY]

​@@nandingpanelo ah, do you mean like a mercury switch on a thermostat? That works too... guessing the spring method was considered safer and less expensive.

If there is a battery and circuit board, it’s e-waste and shouldn’t go into a land fill.

[@jec_ecart]

Such a stupid design. Can't even change the cells

[@I_WANT_MY_SLAW]

Because you're not supposed to. The batteries last 100,000 hours. That's over 10 years. And they are children's shoes. They will outgrow them years before the battery runs out.

[@jec_ecart]

@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW did you test them for 10 years? No what it lasts that long.
