So my Iron Man helmet currently uses the standard setup of solid EL panels that offer perfect lighting but require me to look through a very small slit at the top of the eye socket.
This works ok if the helmet is perfectly aligned on my head, but if anything changes the position of the helmet I'm blind again and not able to adjust my helmet very well while in costume.
So my intention is to redo the eyes with a see-through version where I get the entire visibility of the eye socket.
I have seen the Xrobots video where he does this HERE but I'm wondering if folks here have sorted a better way to do this that doesn't have so much bleed effect of the LED's into your eyes. I'm concerned that over an hour or 2 of looking through these you'd get a killer headache.
So, can anyone tip in and give some advice... or if someone has figured it out and doesn't want to share their secret, I'd buy a set from you.
