2CLight has created a cap that uses solar power to illuminate 2 super bright LEDs. The way it works is a flexible solar panel is built in to the brim of the cap. A micro processor controls the charging and brightness of the lights. A switch is built in next to the lights themselves.The lighting when fully charged can provide 2 to 4 hours of full brightness or up to 36 hours of low light. This cap can be used when light is needed and your hands need to be free. Things like camping come to mind here. There are three basic styles: Baseball, Trailblazer and Sportsman, each style offers various color choices. The retail price is $ 35.00 available by 2CLight.

Wu-Lee has created an awesome LED Hat.
The LED has uses a mesh that carries 1024 LEDs! That’s a lot of wiring and soldering. The construction notes are a very interesting and a inspirational read. The great thing about this concept is that anything can be displayed on the matrix of 16 (vertical) and 64 (horizontal around the hat) pixels. Images, icons, text, anything can be visualized in animated form to express yourself, light up your party or simple use your hat to advertise. Now that’s what I call working with the hat head.
The integration looks very neat and clean and the animation that can be seen in the demo video give a very powerful idea of the potential that is inside this Hat concept.
