Chest Light Boards Available! New Design!

I just finished trimming the chest armor and the chest light slots so, here is a clip of my chest light temporarily attached to the back of the left chest plate. This is a Fettronics deluxe chest light with the new PIC micro-controller. The LEDs are still pretty bright even when it's behind a small piece of welder's dark green face shield visor.

anyone who has held off on chest lights now looks like the perfect time to pick them up.

i own 2 different sets but am considering trying these out simply for the unique design and on off switch
 
I just received my chest display and it rocks! It's blinking away on my desk as we speak! :D I can't wait to get these installed in my armour. (y)
 
I installed mine behind my flak vest. I just cut out a window thru the vest and used industrial strengh velcro to keep em in place. worked like a charm.
 
I can't say for sure which armor styles the light boards will fit in. The cost for the deluxe board is $60 + shipping.

The (deluxe set's) Top lights are 5cm wide and 4mm high. The Bottom Segment's Characters are 7mm wide and 10mm tall. The width of all segments together is about 49mm. Spacing between the top lights and bottom segments is 8mm. I think the dimensions are fairly standard, but I can't say for sure.

I have three deluxe boards built right now ready to ship.

Does anyone know if this fits FP V3 armor?

i;m glad this thread came up, i totally forgot that i have an email from fettronics. i'll pp youfor them tonight after work
 
Here's a quick pic I took of my regular model Fettronics chest display. I just taped it to the back for the picture, it's not firmly attached. This is the FP V3 armour and I did have to cut the slots slightly larger. It was an easy job though, all I had to do was expand the slots that were already formed in the chest piece with some jeweller's files. Some quick measurements:

Top slot: 52 mm x 5 mm
Bottom lot: 52 mm x 12 mm
Space b/t slots: 7 mm

Hope this info is of some help. :)
