# Handmade LED Sunglasses These Glow in the Dark Shades are Perfect for Party Enthusiasts By Thomas Wade-West | Published 2013-09-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-sunglasses References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/NeonNightlife) California-based company NeonNightLife created the newest look for party-goers and [Corey Hart](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunglasses_at_Night) enthusiasts alike: battery-operated, glow in the dark sunglasses. These handmade pieces are equipped with both glow in the dark wires alongside batteries that allow for LED-powered capabilities. The glasses are available in blue, green, pink, red -- amongst many others, for between $75-140. Besides sunglasses, NeonNightLife also offers a series of glowing Venetian masks and an '8-bit' style that would help to make for great Halloween costumes. Sunglasses have evidently moved well beyond their utilitarian function and traditional aesthetic appeal. These sunglasses may catch-on, particularly targeting party-goers, club-rats, and night-life enthusiasts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Handmade LED Accessories:** Opportunities to create additional battery operated LED accessories with unique designs for party-goers. - **Glow-in-the-dark Fashion:** Potential to expand the market for glow-in-the-dark fashion by creating unique, attention-grabbing pieces. - **LED Event Enhancements:** Incorporating LED technology into existing event decor to create a more captivating and exciting atmosphere. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Creating handmade LED accessories opens up a new market for fashion enthusiasts and techies alike to combine their interests. - **Event Planning:** Incorporating LED technology into existing event decor will create a more memorable and engaging experience for event-goers. - **Nightlife:** The popularity of glow-in-the-dark accessories and LED technology presents opportunities to create unique products for the nightlife industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibration Neon Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Neon-Light-Collection.md) - [UV-Activated Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goodr-x-cheetos.md) - [Color-Changing Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-original-wayfarer-change-transitions.md) - [Retro Night Vision Goggles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jurassic-park-goggles.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-water-bottle.md) - [Solar-Powered Glow-in-the-Dark Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-solar-charged-hat.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Device Skins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ddbrand-circuit-board.md) - [Transparent Crystal Sunglasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20.md) - [Adaptive Reading Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/32n-sunglasses-by-deep-optics.md)
