Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

RVLF yes you can buy "aqua" LEDs. They emit cyan light and are pretty bright. I used them the very first time I attempted to light the strap of my V2s.

How does the aqua LEDS compare to the V3 panels? I was looking at turquoise LEDS they appear to have a bit more blue.
RVLF If you have a hard time matching colors if you do not want to swap your strap, you can buy RGB leds and without any circuits you can simply use 3 of the 4 pins and control the amount of each color with only different value resistors.

Aqua LEDs appear to be more green. They are very close in colour to the cyan Glow powder I have. I would say they are close to the colour we want for the MAGs.

If RGB LEDs can be controlled by setting the pins, then you want to only be using blue and green at equal value. This will give you cyan

WizardBTTF - One of the benefits from the side mounting of this product might be affecting the intensity of the light.

Here is the discussion I offered Wizard yesterday. The light tunnel material is pretty shocking in how well it transmits light despite curves and bends in the tube.

There is an acrylic maker with a product that can be edge-lit and diffuses throughout. I will probably get some to fiddle with in the future. I considered that "light tunnel" material which were 2 mm thick tubes could carry the light from 5 mm RGBs located elsewhere. This is the acrylic:

If I recall correctly, their installation specs describe the distance between light sources to effect uniform lighting.

Does anyone know where I can get a good interior foot that would hold the shoe up properly? Or did someone build one that can show me how they did it?

Way too bright will be drawing it back a bit to prolong battery life. Still a really early test, but really shows how easily LEDS can outshine the EL panels.

Excellent work mate. Looks like you've diffused it nicely! What did you end up using, or is it a secret recipe? :-D

So so the V3s would need 2 batteries, 1 for the LED panel and 1 for EL panels, or a simple better battery performance would do the work ?

No it would only need 1 battery. The EL panels need an inverter but LEDs can just come straight off the battery. It's already run that way in the shoe now, but if we are changing the soles to LEDs then it would need to run off the same wiring that's running to the current LEDs right now.

The game has changed guys. Think of me as your doc brown. And I'll take you to the future.

Perfect colors.

Strap controls. Led strobe if you want in bubble or color change in sole.

Just need an inverter for the EL panel. One battery can serve all of the electronics, but depending on voltage requirements there may need to be reducers or step-ups to get in the green zone.

WOW! Very nice! What are you using for the sole LED panels?

Also, where is the best place to get extra wire quick connectors?

 

[jjdelp]

spider2465. Every click connection makes you lose a little power going to end of line. Eliminate and solder instead where you can.

@spider2465

What exactly is that made of and how to you have the LEDs positioned so that it defuses then equally through the panel?

 

[jjdelp]

It's made of blood sweat and tears. All questions that you can answer. Keep going my friend. You will get it.

Looks like a piece of white/milky semi-transparent thin plastic, then a 8x neopixel stick behind it. Something like this will have hot spots, but it does overall look pretty clean.
