The ProdMod LED Hoop
is a hand made LED Hula Hoop that is usually assembled from a parts kit. Comparable LED hoops already assembled can cost anywhere from $100 to $300.
The ProdMod LED Hoop Design is unique in how easy the parts can be assembled usually without the need for resistors or soldering. The simple construction of the LED hoop keeps the quality level high even when a novice with no prior gadget making skills builds one.
The ProdMod LED hoop is also easy to upgrade and to modify. So you can start with a basic design and upgrade only when you need to. There are currently three types of battery supplies to choose from:
1. disposable – non-rechargeable
2. Rechargeable battery with 1 hour charger
3. Replaceable AA battery, alkaline or rechargeable.
.
Product Details
The hoops are made from irrigation tubing. There are many different sizes and strengths of tubing. For simplicity this description will only deal with two versions. They are both dimensionally the same but use different types of material.
0.814″ x 1″ OD x .093″ Natural Color HDPE Tubing – 140 PSI @ 70F – This is stiffer more traditional hoop
0.814″ x 1″ OD x .093″ Semi-Transparent LDPE Tubing – 110 PSI @ 70F – This is more soft and flexible, makes it very easy to fold in half for traveling.
If you want a thinner hoop you can use 0.6″ID x 0.75″OD tubing. But you’ll need the new smaller rechargeable battery.
Key Features
Collapsible- The hoop can be reduced from 40″ down to about 20″ for traveling on short trips. If you use stiffer tubing I would recommend that you disconnect the tube and spiral it down to size. You can use tape or straps to keep it coiled up. But if you use flexible tubing, you can leave the hoop connected and simply twist it into a figure 8 and fold it in half. For more information on making a hoop that easily collapses into a figure 8 and folds in half please read about the new Flexible Tubing.
21 LEDS – more than most pre-assembled versions
small slide switch – flush to the hoop surface it wont get caught or accidentally trip off.
Solder-less – You can make a sturdy LED Hula Hoop on your own with no need to solder any connections
Battery life – about 5 hours with standard battery. Rechargeable also lasts up to 5hrs
Easy to Modify! – The single battery design makes it easy to change your battery or upgrade to a rechargeable battery that lasts 5hrs and charges in only 1hr
Easy to Upgrade! - This open design allows you to easily add new technology that will be made available from this site in the near future: The latest high tech battery with more capacity and lighter weight, Motion sensors, Programmable patterns…. Your hoop only gets better with time!
A typical Standard 40″ ProdMod LED Hoop Parts Kit
- LEDs: 7 Bright Blue, 7 Bright Green, and 7 color changing.
- 12 feet of paired 22AWG insulated wire- (clear)
- Tube Connector
- Slide Switch
- Battery of your choice
Tubing (sold separately) – 10.5 feet of semi-translucent white tubing – enough for one 40″ diameter hoop.
Recommended Tools
 |
Automatic Wire Strippers – These allow you to quickly and easily remove wire insulation only where needed leaving the complete length of wire intact. This is key for a solder-less assembly. You can find these at Radio Shack or Lowes for $16.99. |
 |
Stiff Steel Wire – 11 feet length- You can use this to help push the wire through your tube. Galvanized steel wire is easy to find in hardware stores. I recommend 22 or 16 Gauge thick wire. They can be purchases at Home Depot for $4 for 100 ft or $8 for 200 ft respectively. 16 Gauge is better but more expensive. |
.
How to Order
You can customize your own Hoop Kit on the LED Hoop Maker Kit page.
You can select some standard LEDs along with the kit or select the LEDs separately.
Tubing is not available on this site but the maker kit page will direct you to a few suppliers.

Ok, so I use HDPE tubing for my regular hoops and I’ve been using the 5/8″ inner diameter / 3/4″ outer diameter tubing (rated @ 123 psi, but whatever). Can I use it for LED hoops? Is that the 0.6×0.75 LED white hoop tubing you are referring to?

Thank you!

Just a note to any Canadians who want to order from Mcmaster-Carr, they will not ship to Canada. So you either have to ship to a USA address, or order from someone else.

Most important thing to be kept in mind when working with soldering iron is not to touch the tip of the iron as it is extremely hot. Soldering material used for the purpose is an alloy of tin and lead and is called flux. Before you put solder over the required area, heat up the surface to be soldered by touching the tip of the hot iron. Application of the solder is called “tinning”since percentage of tin is more in the flux. However, flux can be of various types depending upon the things to be soldered. :

(Electronics) I shopped for a TV stand big eguonh to fit a 61 DLP TV and I went everywhere from Wal-mart to Best Buy to Ikea (online). This is the stand to get. This stand looks amazing in black metal and black tempered glass.Wal-mart has some cheap particle board set for roughly the same price as this item. Best Buy has two classes of TV stands, those in their Magnolia section (which look great but run $1300+, I might as well get another TV) and their more moderately priced units run $299-$600. This unit still looks better than any of the stuff I saw in that section and it’s bigger. There was a really basic particle board Ikea TV stand (Lack) for big TVs for $69, but they didn’t deliver that model nor is there an Ikea store near where I live. And I’m glad there’s not because I found this gem next.This bad boy is 90+ pounds HEAVY and I really felt sorry for the sole UPS guy trying to carry it up the hill to my door but made me appreciate the fact that I didn’t have to lug a unit in my car from a nearby store.Ideally takes two people to setup for alignment purposes, but building it out is really easy and quick and the instructions are a snap. I’d probably build out the metal frame first, move it to where you want it, then put the glass on.My only concern with the stand is that one of the parts came scratched and slightly dented. Luckily it was one of the support beams that runs underneath the glass and you can’t see it anyway so I really didn’t care because I was so satisfied with the unit after it was done, but this review probably would’ve been a different story if it had been one of the visible bars.

A baby’s first stool is called menouicm and it can happen before, during, our after delivery. When it happens before delivery the doctor takes precautions to make sure that the baby does not take a breath before there nose and mouth are cleaned out. When my water broke the nurse on duty warned me that she had already had her first stool and that the doctor would be very careful during my delivery. I was told that if any of the stool was inhaled during the baby’s first breath it would cause menouicm aspiration syndrome and the baby could develop respiratory problems. After her head came out the doctor told me to stop pushing and immediately pulled out suction tubes to clean out her mouth and nose. From there she continued with the delivery and thoroughly cleaned her before she was given to me and my husband. My daughter is now 7 years old and she is in perfect health!!!
