I've never weighed them Stambo, there's 42 leds on the strip. I used a red plastic band I cut off a plastic haribo box.... Plus a small circuit board as these are not run by cleanflights own led driver. I designed my own and wrote the code...

I'm going to do a more advanced circuit later with an accelerometer on it so I can change the LED sequences based on movement...


Thanks Dog... The camera didn't do them justice really, they look pretty cool in real life... Ended up with a few people watching to see what it was.... :D :D
