This must be one of the simplest videos I've done. I got this from eBay to look at the construction, and it's actually very neat. It's not just been bodged onto an existing hat. Everything has been designed for the purpose.
Here's an eBay search link for these novel caps:-

Target price $5.
A bit of hunting on eBay has found the side glow fiber material with the "skirt". Here's a starter search:-

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

    "Hello button, my old friend, i've come to use you yet again; because I want to light up my hat, i need a battery that's really flat, and the light shall shine all around the cardboard skip, along the lip; to shy away the darkness"
    Whoops. Couldn't resist. 😀

    "Skip cap"? Is that what you wear when you are "fly tipping" at the "skip bin"? And the UK and US supposedly speaks the same language…

    That clear tube is often called 'tadpole piping'. Tadpoles (sometimes 'polliwogs') are baby frogs. If you slice a thin cross-section of that piping and lay it flat, it's shaped like a tadpole.

    Exchange the normal light LED's with UV-light LED's and you can fight invisible all those dirty germs. Go to the EU Headquarters in Bruxelles with it and receive a humongous EU subsidy for curing Covid-21 and 23. They don't know a fuck about anything. Look for an example to the European Cookie-law.
