I made light!!

80 LEDs of blinding goodness.

All pics except the last 2 were taken with the room lights on.

You can see a comparison with my LED flashlight in the last 2 pics (with room lights off).

LEDs werd 45 cents each so they came out to $40, the rest of the parts were around $20

Most of the light is projected forward anyhow, the viewing angle for the LEDs is 25 degrees.

Now buy a cheap headrest LCD with 800x600 res, remove it from the casing, put it in front of your light....

voila, lcd projector.

you're welcome...

Maybe if the LEDs were white I would try that.
