Green Lantern New 52/Injustice

[NCC 1864]

Your Costume is Amaaaaazing !
Love it thanks for the link on how to build the ring too... That's what Cosplay is ALL about.

How did you do the lighting on the chest

 

[Atlante313]

very cool effect

 

[kalissuperman]

very awesome! great work

I keep coming back to your thread just to look at the suit, love what you did with this!

 

[Darth Mule]

Shiny!

Don't I know you? I'd recognize that mug anywhere.
:lol

I love the outfit man. Tried to follow the Facebook ring tutorial link but it's "unavailable" did you take it down?

 

[skyball]

amazing job well done

Dana, The Power Ring tutorial is still active. The tutorial is on my FaceBook page, so you may have to be logged into a FaceBook account when you click the link in order for it to work.

I love green lantern. John Stewart is my all time favorite super hero. The special effects are incredible.

Wow! Just found this thread. Super awesome work, man. Well done! GL's my 2nd favorite superhero (only to Batman), but he is the one who got me into reading comics in the first place, with Blackest Night. Your ring is what drew my attention, though. There's a way you can get an equally bright (or maybe slightly brighter) LED that is the same size, but doesn't require nearly as much voltage. You'd only need a 7.4V pack, and with 2 18650 sized cells, you'd have a pack rated at 3400mAh-massive runtime! I actually did this same setup in a lightsaber a while back.

Get this LED:

LED Engin LZ4 10W Single Color

And this CC driver, in the 3A, momentary option (expensive, I know...but ultimately, you will get the same brightness you have now, with a much smaller battery pack, and longer run time.)

Constant current LED driver

Then get this battery holder:

Spring Clip Black Plastic 2 x 3 7V 18650 Pointed Tip Battery Box Case Holder | eBay

And two of these cells:

Panasonic Protected 18650 3.7V 3400mAh

And a momentary switch:

SPST Momentary tactile switch

Then, what you'll do is wire the 4 LED dies in series/parallel, which means take 2 dies, wire them in series (pos to neg). Then take the other two, and wire them in series as well. Then take the two pairs you just made, and wire them in parallel (pos to pos, neg to neg). What this does is split the initial 3A current the driver is giving the LED in half, to 1.5A to each pair of dies, then since each pair is wired up in series, both dies in a pair gets the same current (1.5A) (parallel wiring splits current, but keeps the forward voltage requirement...series keeps current the same, but adds up the forward voltage requirement). So, you have 4 dies, getting 1.5A each, and at that current each die would conservatively put out around 600 lumens, according to the data sheet. And you got 4 of them! Plus, you only need 7.4 V , and have a 3A drain, so you'd get over an hour of runtime.

That looks awesome. Gotta love the Green Lantern.

Wow man, finished or not, I'm super jealous! That looks absolutely amazing, great job man!

 

[jDuke]

Really like the light work on this costumes

 

[dialswiftjustice]

this is quite awesome and something I have been considering for awhile, did you use El wire under the chest armor? Thanks for any advice!

 

[regisaugusto]

Wow!!! Wonderful work!!!! Congratulations!!!!
