    I just left home depot, I'm litterally still in the parking lot. They are selling these for $15. All halloween decorations are 50% off right now. There were at least a dozen on the shelf. I grabbed two and figured someone has a video on how to repurpose them, which is how I found this guide. Thanks for making my buy worth it.

      Yea cool I was looking online and yes a huge sale going on. I just bought the Victorian Vampire for $99.00. Yep there will be a video sometime about mods on him as well. Also you can power those eyes with 5 VDC. To 6 VDC no more than 6 volts. Glad you like my content. Thanks for the great comments.

    My Home Depot has/had lots of the eyes in stock mainly because not many people feel comfortable taking apart the big skeleton and the new skelly has the eyes already installed I bought a few of them to update my skelly and add eyes to some other stuff maybe a jack o lantern or some other prop

    I would have liked to see you install the eyes. I bought a 10 ft skeleton and the eyes. Hopefully I can get it to work.

    • @ntshdff
      @ntshdff 2 місяці тому

      The eyes come with the screwdriver and everything you need was really simple maybe 15-20 minutes

    • @mikecomptech

      Great, just measure first to make sure that you can fit in the LCD eyes.
      It was a fairly easy install on this large of a skull that I used.

      @mikecomptech  2 місяці тому

      To power the Eye's is 5 to 6 volts DC. The black Longwei power supply is what is powering it.
      You can see the voltage I had it set to, and the current they pull. Thank you for your comment.

      All depends what skull you have. I hot glued them in the Tractor Supply Skull that's where I bought this skull I installed the screens in. Had to cut a square access hole in the back of the skull to gain internal access.
