Simple LED Upgrade for Halloween / Rave Mask


00:00:10first what you’ll have to do is you’ll

00:00:13have to make something like this

00:00:14basically you take your stereo wire and

00:00:21split it down the middle and this length

00:00:24across mine was three inches but a might

00:00:27vary depending on yourself and you take

00:00:30your positive right here connect it to

00:00:35the negative here and then you’ll have a

00:00:37positive here and a negative here so

00:00:41then you’ll just thread this back

00:00:43through this will go to your controller

00:00:50now this is pretty just slapped together

00:00:53but Halloween only comes once a year so

00:00:55I really didn’t want to put too much

00:00:57time into it and this works basically so

00:01:00I have a momentary push-button switch

00:01:05two zip ties a 9-volt battery clip and

00:01:10just some electrical tape to hold stuff

00:01:12together now what you have to do is

00:01:15you’ll see here your black and white

00:01:21wire and it doesn’t really matter

00:01:25there’s some trial and error and this

00:01:27took me a while to get everything

00:01:29working but basically your black wire

00:01:33should be connected to one end of the

00:01:36momentary push-button switch and then

00:01:39your white wire should be connected to

00:01:42the stereo cable which runs back to your

00:01:47LED display or LED lights and it’s

00:01:55really simple just keep everything

00:01:57together with the zip ties and you just

00:02:02thread this into your pocket and

00:02:04depending on how tall you are you’ll

00:02:07want to measure out distance from

00:02:10wearing the mask with thee from the eye

00:02:13sockets to your pocket or wherever you

00:02:16feel you want this switch to be and then

00:02:20you just press the button it’s real

00:02:22simple

00:02:24so I’ll show you guys what it looks like

00:02:27on my mask couple s notes when voting

00:02:35your LEDs connecting them to your wires

00:02:38you’ll want to know that the longer wire

00:02:41as seen here is the positive also if you

00:02:48decided that you didn’t want to use a

00:02:49momentary push-button you just wanted to

00:02:52have an on and off switch you’ll have to

00:02:54add some type of resistor because these

00:02:58LEDs will burn out pretty quickly that’s

00:03:02why I’m using the momentary push button

00:03:04and another alternative is to just use

00:03:09two double-a batteries as opposed to the

00:03:139-volt and that’ll eliminate having to

00:03:16use any kind of resistor here’s what my

00:03:20mask looks like as it’s finished you

00:03:23have the remote with the momentary

00:03:25push-button and and on the inside what

00:03:32you’ll do to finish it is you’ll take

00:03:36just some black electrical tape and

00:03:39you’ll bend the LEDs so that they fold

00:03:42over on the eye sockets like so and then

00:03:47you just tape everything and this wire

00:03:49you’ll know if worried about it getting

00:03:50in the way it’s because well especially

00:03:53for my mask since it covers up my whole

00:03:54face I just usually thread this down

00:03:57through my shirt and then like into a

00:03:59pocket of some sort so there you go just

00:04:04a quick easy way to make your mask even
