7 Hacks To Store Hats With LED Lights
Storing hats with LED lights requires some special care to protect both the hat and the electronics. Here are some tips to keep them in good condition:
How To Store LED Light Up Hats?
1. Remove Batteries
Prevent Corrosion: If your hat's LED lights are powered by removable batteries, take them out before storing the light up hat. This prevents battery leakage and corrosion from damaging the circuitry or fabric.
Conserve Battery Life: Storing the hat with the batteries removed ensures they won't drain over time.
2. Store In A Cool, Dry Place
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep the lighted hat in a room temperature environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme heat or moisture. Excessive heat can damage the LEDs and the hat fabric.
Moisture-Free Zone: Humidity can cause rust or damage to the LED components. A dry space is essential for both the electronics and the fabric.
3. Use A Hat Box or Organizer
Protection from Dust and Physical Damage: Store the hat in a soft, padded hat box or organizer to protect the LED components from physical damage (such as being crushed or bumped).
Avoid Overcrowding: Don't stack multiple items on top of your LED light hat, as this can cause pressure on the lights or wiring. This hack will help protect the hats for a really long time.
4. Keep The LEDs In A Safe Position
Don’t Bend the Wiring: Be careful with hats that have visible wiring for LEDs. Avoid bending or twisting the wires, as this could break the connection or damage the LED lights.
Positioning: Store the hat with lights in a way that the LED lights are not in contact with sharp edges or heavy items that could damage the delicate components.
5. Consider A Storage Bag
Lightweight, Breathable Fabric: Use a breathable cloth storage bag (like a cotton or mesh bag) for protection. Avoid plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and lead to mold or mildew.
Ensure Proper Ventilation: While the bag should be protective, it should also allow air circulation to avoid any trapped moisture or odors.
6. Avoid Over-Stretching
Don’t Store in a Stretched Position: If your LED hat is a stretchable fabric, don’t store it in a stretched state (e.g., hanging it by the brim) as this can cause the fabric to lose its shape over time.
7. Test The LED Lights Periodically
Check the Lights Occasionally: If you're storing the light up hats for a long period, it’s good practice to check the LEDs every few months to ensure they’re still working properly and to catch any potential issues with the wiring or battery connections.
By following these tips, you can prolong the life of both your LED lights and your hat, ensuring it stays in great shape and ready for use whenever you need it!
