I had a roll of about 4 metres of white strip LEDs and I wasn't quite sure what to do with them. Then, one day, I had the idea of wrapping them around a vitamin jar to make a battery powered camping lentern.

Step 1: Container

I used an empty Swisse vitamin jar as my container for the batteries and something to wrap the LEDs around.

Cool! Check out my helmet I made, I also used LED strips. They are pretty handy huh? :D

Yeah they are, they even make LED strips that you can control the colour of each LED independently via serial, would be great for decorating a christmas tree.

PS. I had a look at your helmet and it's very cool! =)
