Extreme Fashion: LED Eyelashes

A few weeks ago, we talked about LED smiles and the wacky possibility of having a scrolling LED sign in your mouth. Another extreme idea enters the fashion scene – LED eyelashes! Yes, these are tiny LED bulbs attached to one’s lashes so you can flutter your pretty peepers in style. Do you think it’s a sparkling idea? It could be something interesting but if you wear it with your LED smile, you risk looking like a glowing cyborg. The iconic sense of fashion of people has gotten them in different forms of media.

LED Lights Help In Decreasing Light Pollution

With more unvarying levels of light, hot spots and dark spots are greatly reduced. These LED lights, if grouped tog

The Shaftesbury Memorial, Criterion Theatre, and London Pavilion are just some of the major tourist attractions surrounding Piccadilly Circus. People from all over the world visit this junction. On a business aspect, it is a very lucrative place for all the colorful advertisements and led signs . These neon lights and scrolling led signs transform the façade not only of the building, but also the place itself.  These programmable message boards will not only drive traffic to one’s establishment, it can al
