Fantastic! Having flexible LED eyes out of the box is a game-changer indeed. Thanks for sharing!

[@15SecondCritic]

These are awesome. Looks like they sold out quick! I'm going to keep an eye out for some of these.

[@sahadv5396]

I found them on eBay

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

Eye see what you did there

[@eamonnd1420]

These little led eyes look amazing. I didnt know you could actually see through them lol. I wouldn't fancy having one of those lipo batteries at the back of my head tho. Think I would go with the little battery pack.

[@FranklyBuilt]

Yep they’re great! And I don’t use LiPo batteries in the suit just usb battery packs

[@TheRumblemore]

@@FranklyBuilt What about using a rescue blanket silver side towards the led side? I used them in the summer to reflect heat in my living room, you can still see through them but the silver reflects a lot of light.

[@NightFuryForever]

new to the game here, what's wrong with LiPo in the helmet?

[@drabberfrog]

@@NightFuryForever that guy probably has an irrational fear of LIPO batteries. Somehow, the fact that puncturing a LIPO battery will cause a fire has turned into the idea that lithium batteries are ticking time bombs ready to explode at any moment. It's just not true, as long as you don't physically abuse the battery and don't short circuit it nothing bad is going to happen. Anti right to repair companies have also played into this narrative of lithium batteries being an extreme safety risk to justify not letting consumers replace batteries.

[@risingphoenixbronco5328]

back in limited stock. seller has several listings for them but the color availability varies between listings so hunt around. Ordered 6 (2 red, 2 blue, 2 gold) we will see how they work in the Darth Vader Helmet and the AstroMech droids.

[@danielrosales9448]

This was an amazing find! Thank you! I bought 3 to play with for my moonknight project

[@bakedbeans9275]

I am also doing moonknight. I'm going as mr.night and my bf is going as the other moonknight. Making this all from scratch. Would love to see how yours looks.

[@printingiron9306]

Epic...thanks for this Frank. Had just done the eyes in my build and managed to break 1 so was ordering replacements but these will. Be waaaaay better 😊👍🏼👍🏼

[@FranklyBuilt]

No problem!

[@Nomagtag]

@@FranklyBuilt Hello is it possible to cut without breaking?

[@travhurst4167]

Great channel man, I am learning a lot! Thank you! I am going to start building an iron man suit. He has always been my favorite comic hero so i was geeked to see your sick builds! Ill be watching and rewatching these vids, especially the electronics tutorials. Prefer this music btw hehe

[@orangejuiceproduction8243]

I’m going to buy these rn thx frank I can wait for these to be delivered while I figure out ow to replace my thermistor

[@lvedder99]

This video is very helpful!! Could you make a tutorial on putting a limit switch in the middle like you have? I can’t figure it out

[@feral7094]

I only have a face plate made and I already ordered the led eyes you linked, thank you

[@mohdandysabarudin4534]

Can you try "One way mirror film". sorry..just thought to reduce the glare and reflect it away from your eyes.

[@fublunged]

Saw on instance of this question, did not see answer. Was planing to use usb battery pack. You mentioned need to drop down from 5v to 3v. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

[@IndigoLaine]

i am new to this and i needed theas eyes true game changer

[@arnieszabo]

very cool, are there larger ones, like big enough for a full face plate or mando vison?

[@Hadfield15]

Very nice! If the strips are too wide for my project, would I be able to cut them and they'd still work?

[@shawnemmons5842]

Question... Have you tried adding one way glass film to the inside so more of the light is reflected outwards?

[@geraldtran9977]

bought some of these lights off ebay and wanted to know if there is any way to control the brightness? thanks! love your content

[@wedgecentral7274]

Thanks! I might use these for a ncr cosplay later

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

I just got green ones for my latex skull full head mask. Curious how to attach them to the inside openings of the eye holes. Maybe styrene frame around eyes held on with e6000? * UPDATE held them in with gorilla tape. Worked fine BUT while trick or treating with my son after sundown I could NOT SEE. it was so bad I had to switch to my spare mask. Even turned off I still couldn't see.

[@ArinBombastic]

i wonder if these would work for my vash the stampede arm from trigun stampede.

[@nimbuswarrior7377]

Does anyone know where to get a bigger version of these? I'm making a jack o lantern costume for halloween and I wanna use some for the eyes but the eye holes are too big.

[@pulsevr3523]

[@dusty_bun2592]

This is so cool

[@garethnicholson7515]

Got some of these look good although I thought I bought the flexi one but were solid but worked well anyway

[@doaknife9161]

got an idea can you take those and make a frame that you can make them like pair of sunglasses that you can put on and then just put any mask you want on over the top

[@doaknife9161]

Thank you for the positive feedback but what I'm thinking here also is a some kind of a dimmer switch so you can dress the the intensity for normal like three to three volts or you can take and turn the foliage down and keep them on to the point you can adjust them so you can see in any kind of lady and still keep them on in a little dimmer a little brighter you know just somewhere on the costume you can hide the dimmer switch that you can adjust the intensity

[@strassboom2612]

Sorry, I may have missed it but do they come with the battery? 😅 Edit: Ordered them for myself through the doobly doo link to see if they did. These lights do *not* come with a battery. What you will need is a CM2302 battery. One of the hearing aid disc looking batteries

[@wyldtwyst]

Oooo thank you so much!!

[@christianraab722]

Hey Frank what kind of trigger switch and finger touch controller do you use?

[@hamdanahmed5205]

Can anyone say which material he is using I am trying to make Batman suit 😢

Hi can you make a tutorial on how to make them flicker?

Nice video. Can I install these in a wool felt fedora hat?

[@Skitjamo]

this is a great video! btw what camera you use man? love your channel

[@FranklyBuilt]

Thanks! I have a Sony A6600

[@Mits_]

Hi, I’m very new to electronics and wiring but would you know how to extend the wire for these? Thanks in advance

[@OriginalLaserbolt]

Very cool find. Do they have a glowing/fading mode feature by any chance?

[@marcus3d]

Wrt the silver tape coming off; can't you just use a bit of silver paint (maybe a silver pen) to make the side reflective again?

[@FranklyBuilt]

You can just peel it off and put it back on

[@fishlli]

Is it possible to cut these things into another shape?

[@nexx1]

Wow I got one in yellow for shadow weaver

[@ProwlersPit]

When I was wondering is how you installed them. Especially with the face mask coming up. How did you arrange the wires so you had enough wire and they weren't in the way

[@Dayquan_Bonqweeqwee]

He as some videos on them.

[@slaughterman44]

I bought from the same shop a few weeks ago and I thought they were flexible, unlucky me I clicked on their listing for the normal plastic ones. just make sure it says bendable on the listing before you buy lol

[@prabhavathimajji8352]

Sir did you use ice blue or blue

[@woman_respecter629]

I need to know if you can cut them and still be able to work

[@AgusLivio]

Hey there! Loved the video. Someone knows how to make the eyes? I'm not able to buy those in my country sadly...

[@masonbryan3235]

what magnets do you use for your iron man helmets the ones I have aren’t strong enough

[@LeadersOfAFreeMind]

What kind of glue should I use to affix these to a plastic helmet? I just used krazy glue and a little got on the lens and ruined them.

[@ethan_NLee]

Bro I just got my 3d printer the Neptune 4 max Im thinking about making an iron man helmet. The issue is i live in indonesia and aliexpress no longer ships to Indonesia, If you could send me just one pair of those eyes i would be very grateful tank youuu

[@SapZgaming]

is there another place to get these eyes? i got the other ones and broke one immediately lol

[@rundownimposter7430]

I would love to put these on my bike helmet be great for group rides

[@eviljbrian]

I would love to get these. What are the chances finding these that are able to change color? Such as for a mask I want to make, I want it more of an ice-blue, but I want to be able to remotely change it to red in certain situations.

hey, just thought i let you know the flexible led's you have in the description is now outdated. they are no longer selling those

[@raidenartworks7191]

Is there somewhere I can get a larger strip of the rubber lenses? I've got a faceplate with one large strip for the eyes and cant find any that would look like they can cover the full length.

[@FranklyBuilt]

No idea. Let me know if you do find some haha that would be awesome

[@KaptynPierug]

Hey man, i have a question. What do i do if glowing eyes are bigger than size those are coming in? Like Omen from valorant for example Edit: Or simply, can you put one next to eachothet and it will look good?
