Default NEW Afterburner LED rings - will this interest jet pilots ?

Hello guys,

here is my latest development - my first prototype after burner LED ring kit.

I wanted something more solid than the current rings on the market which are very delicate - so this ring is made out of Orange high density LEDs inside a rubber/silicon clear case, which is flexible and can be reshaped in many ways. this also protects the LEDs from possible damage. the clear case has been tested for heat resistance and was found very effective even againt a bare flame.

Here is a short video demonstrating the prototype:

The whole system is very light weight - exact weight figures will follow shortly once i weigh all components carefully.

Best part is that most plug and play systems on the market are priced at 200$ and above. I believe i can offer these complete systems plug and play with controller/driver included (minus small 4S battery) for about 100$, and with battery for about 120$ total.

Im curious if you guys think there is a good market for these. if i get enough interest, i may very well go into production with these.

Thanks for your advice.
