For anyone who has built it
Roughly what length of lights did you use as it would be useful to have a estimate to order from (I could always order more but it's more convenient if I didn't have to)

I was looking at using usb powerbanks as i would be able to fit them easier into the jacket

I wasn’t planning on doing a helmet currently but if time permits I’ll consider it
