MaceTech RGB LED Shades Kit
Bright Arduino-Compatible Sunglasses
Stand out at your next party, trade show, or music festival with these bright programmable sunglasses. Packed with a grid of lights across the front, these hackable shades can display a wide range of colors, animations, and movements. From the inside, they offer an unobstructed view, but from the outside they’re as bright as can be. The RGB version features 68 programmable full-color RGB LEDs. If you don’t have programming experience, they come with dazzling pre-set modes right out of the box. The Matrix LED version (available in blue or white) has a whopping 166 LEDs. Both are Arduino compatible, meaning you can program them to display just about anything. The RGB version will last around 3 hours on a single charge, while the LED Matrix version will last up to 8.
Note: At checkout, choose between the RGB Shades and the LED Matrix Shades. Both are available in blue or white.
