That's such an ignorant rip off. I could build one of those kits for under $300 easy. I have fan switch unit I'm selling on eBay at the moment, which I've been building for years on my own third and forth gen birds.

And this isn't a surprise.

Much better parts could be had with that money.

It still looks like the light is focused in certain areas. Wonder what type of LEDs were used.

Probably could've used less of a brighter LED and saved a bit.

Oh God, what a ripoff. If you look at the pics you can see the 3 light sources inside. He just replaced the bulbs with LED bulbs.
He probably used these:

If he actually used 350 LED's per side they would look more like this:

They didn't sell and have been relisted. This time someone asked what LEDS he used.

Q: what color and what size of LED's were used in the project?

A: There's a mix of rope and hyper bright 5mm LEDs, all clear lenses that emmit monochromatic red.

Even knowing that, I think they are still way over priced.
