Part of the experience for any rave or festival is choosing an exciting outfit. Rave styles have changed over time but one thing has stayed the same, self-expression through unique looks, and rave hats play a big part of that! As LED technology has advanced, incorporating LED lights into your rave hat is becoming increasingly common. A short time ago affordable LED bucket hats wouldn’t have been possible, but now almost anyone can get their own quality LED bucket hats.
LED bucket hats have become increasingly popular as rave gear, particularly at music festivals and other music events, and for good reason. The combination of practicality and unique style has made them a hit with many ravers. In this blog, we discuss the reasons why LED bucket hats are a great rave hat choice for those who are attending raves or festivals this year.
The History of Bucket Hats in the Music Festival and Rave Scene
Before LED bucket hats were created regular bucket hats have long been a common festival accessory, and recently they have become an iconic piece of festival fashion. From Coachella to EDC Vegas, these rave hats can be seen adorning the heads of electronic music fans everywhere. But why have bucket hats become so popular at music festivals?
One reason for bucket hats’ popularity is their practicality. Music festivals often take place during the warmer months, and the sun’s rays can be intense. Heat exhaustion can be a serious risk for festival attendees. Fortunately, a bucket hat can help prevent overheating at a festival.
Bucket hats provide much-needed shade for festival-goers, protecting their faces and necks from harmful UV rays. They are also a great way to keep cool, as the wide brim provides ventilation, allowing air to circulate around the head. This is especially important in hot and humid climates where heat exhaustion is a real concern.
Another reason for the popularity of bucket hats is their versatility. Bucket hats come in a wide range of colors, patterns, and materials, making them a perfect accessory to any festival outfit. As a rave hat they can be dressed up or down, worn with shorts and a tank top, or a more extravagant outfit.
A bucket hat can be customized with patches, pins, and other decorations to make them unique to the wearer. This customization allows festival-goers to express their individuality and stand out in the crowd.
Bucket hats are also a great way to make a statement. Many famous musicians and celebrities have been spotted wearing bucket hats at festivals, including Rihanna, Pharrell Williams, and A$AP Rocky. By wearing a bucket hat, festival-goers can emulate their favorite artists and join a larger cultural trend.
Finally, bucket hats have become popular because of their association with the past. Bucket hats first gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s as part of the hip-hop and rave scenes. They were often worn by DJs and MCs, and eventually became a staple of festival fashion. As with many fashion trends, bucket hats have made a comeback in recent years, with a new generation embracing their retro vibe.
LED Bucket Hats, A Modern Twist on a Classic
Bucket hats have been popular for a long time, and they continue to evolve with the times. The House of Rave, a rave gear and festival accessory brand that is dedicated to providing unique and quality options for their fellow ravers, has recently begun promoting one of the newest types of bucket hats, LED bucket hats. It’s a unique twist on a classic festival accessory.
The House of Raves LED bucket hats combine all the perks of a traditional bucket hat, yet offer a fresh new feature. Each LED bucket hat features a bright color LED light that goes around the brim of the hat. This adds a fun, futuristic element to the bucket hat that has not been seen before.
House of Rave LED Bucket Hat Specifications
The LED bucket hats from the House of Rave have a variety of unique specifications, from the material to the LED lighting. Each of these features improves the overall quality of LED bucket hats.
The House of Rave’s LED bucket hats are made from high-quality materials like polyester or cotton. We choose these materials for the variety of benefits that they bring.
Benefits of Polyester Material for an LED Rave Hat
The main bucket hat styles are made from high-grade polyester material. Polyester is a synthetic fiber made from a polymer that is derived from coal, air, water, and petroleum. It is a versatile and durable material that is commonly used in clothing and other textile products.
Aside from improved durability, the benefits of polyester bucket hats include:
Moisture-wicking: Polyester is a moisture-wicking material, which means it can absorb moisture and sweat from the skin and evaporate it quickly, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
Lightweight: Polyester is a lightweight material that makes it easy to wear and pack for outdoor activities. It makes for a great, versatile piece of rave gear.
Easy Clean: Clothing made from polyester is easy to care for and can be spot washed and dried without losing its shape or color.
The other material used for our LED bucket hats is premium cotton material. Cotton bucket hats offer several benefits that make them a popular choice for people who want a comfortable and versatile hat for music festivals. The main benefits that cotton LED bucket hats offer are:
Comfort: Cotton is a soft and comfortable bucket hat material that feels good against the skin. This makes it a great choice for hats that are worn for extended periods, like music festivals.
Breathability: As a material cotton is breathable enough that it allows air to circulate around the head, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable during warm weather. This is also applicable in large crowds or tightly packed venues.
Absorbent: Cotton is a highly absorbent material that can absorb sweat and moisture, helping to keep the wearer dry and comfortable.
Either cotton or polyester are great options for a quality LED bucket hat material. Choosing a bucket hat made from either of these materials as your next piece of rave gear is a wise choice.
LED Bucket Hats Battery and Lighting Specifications
House of Rave LED bucket hats are powered by a small battery pack that is attached to the rear brim section. This provides power to the LED wire around the hat brim giving the hat bright illumination.
The battery used to power the LED bucket hats is a CR2032 battery. It is a common inexpensive watch battery that can be easily ordered from Amazon. This makes it an ideal battery source for a light-up rave hat.
With this ideal power source, the lighting comes with multiple options.
Lighting and Color Options for LED Rave Hat
By using a strong power source the House of Rave LED bucket hats come in a variety of vibrant color options. These bright, fun colors can be coordinated to match your outfit, the festival theme, or just your own favorite color choice.
When it comes to the actual LED light, the right type of wire needs to be chosen to emit high-quality, steady lighting. For the type of LED wire around the bucket hats PNM LED was chosen as the lighting wire. The House of Rave chose a PNM LED light because they are a much brighter type of LED than other common LED lighting wires. When used around the bucket hat brim this helps provide a much more even lighting, instead of parts of the brim looking over or undersaturated with color tones.
The current LED color options for the House of Rave LED bucket hats include:
- Green
- Blue
- Yellow
- Orange
- Red

Each of these shine as a bright and uniform color that is sure to get attention. With so many great LED color options, there is no lack of great hat colors and patterns to complement them. Most of the colors match their LED lighting, but there are some unique patterns and design options as well.

In addition to black and white bucket hats, we also offer faux leather styles, holographic and a signature House of Rave label “Whore” bucket hat design.
While the LED colors correspond to the main colors of the hat pattern, some styles have a unique rave hat LED color. Finally, the House of Rave signature “Whore” LED bucket hat comes with a vibrant red LED light around the brim.

Why LED Bucket Hats Are the Best Rave Hat
There are so many options when it comes to choosing a rave hat for your next event. So how do you know what the best rave hat option is? Well, we may be biased but we think the best rave hat is House of Rave’s LED bucket hats. And we don’t think that just because we created them, but because they are truly an extremely versatile piece of rave gear that creates a statement.
Here are just a few reasons that House of Rave’s LED bucket hats are the best rave hat option:
LED Bucket Hats Are a Unique Style of Rave Hat
One of the primary reasons why House of Rave LED bucket hats have become such a popular choice for festival-goers’ rave gear is their unique style. These are some of the only bucket hats on the market that light up, which makes them easily stand out in a crowd. This makes them a popular choice for ravers who want to be noticed and draw attention to themselves.
The light-up feature of LED bucket hats can also make them a great conversation starter. Other ravers might ask about your rave hat, which can lead to new connections and friendships. The interactive aspect of LED bucket hats makes them a fun addition to any festival outfit.
The Practicality of This Rave Hat
In addition to being fashionable, LED bucket hats can also serve a practical purpose by providing extra light in dark spaces. We’ve all been in a dark porta-potty struggling to use our phone flashlight while fearing we might drop it on the floor, or worse, the actual toilet itself. With an LED bucket hat, you can turn on the LED light and it should give you plenty of illumination, removing the risk of dropping your phone in something disgusting.
The lighting feature can be especially helpful for ravers who need to navigate crowded dance floors or outdoor venues. It gives you extra light so you can easily navigate through it. In addition to helping you navigate dark, crowded spaces, the lighting aspect can provide another aspect of value.
As many ravers and festival goers know, it can be very difficult to locate your friend group once you’ve been separated. When you have to inevitably use the restroom, the mission to find your friends again can take a lot of time, wasting valuable minutes or hours you could be spending with them enjoying the event.
However, if your group is wearing LED bucket hats, then that might not be a problem! The blinking LED light mode can easily attract attention and stand out in a large crowd. Another way that your groups can use LED bucket hats to find one another is to coordinate your hat LED colors. For example, a large group wearing red would easily stand out. Any color your group chooses would work to help make locating each other easier.
The practicality of LED bucket hats can enhance your festival experience and make it safer and more enjoyable. Don’t risk your phone in dimly lit spaces like porta potties and spend less time looking for your group. Instead, choose an LED bucket hat!
These Make a Durable Rave Hat
As we mentioned previously, the House of Rave LED bucket hats are made with durable materials that can withstand the wear and tear of festivals. As a rave hat they are designed to be used multiple times, which makes them a smart investment for frequent festival-goers. When you find the style that you love, you can wear it to numerous festivals, raves, or other parties before needing to buy another one.
House of Rave LED bucket hats cannot be washed due to the battery power pack, but they can be cleaned and maintained. You can spot-clean your LED bucket hat with a damp cloth and mild detergent, or other gentle cleaning methods. This makes them a convenient and practical choice for those who want to keep their rave gear in good condition.
LED Bucket Hats Provide Interactive Features
The best rave gear pieces are unique and do something that other ravers haven’t seen before. House LED bucket hats come with different lighting modes that can be changed with the push of a button. This can be a fun way to interact with the event music and add to the overall party atmosphere.
Different lighting modes give you control over how you want your LED hat to look. This allows you to customize your hat to match the music or the mood of the event.
It’s an Affordable Rave Hat
We all know how pricey rave gear can get. Many brands charge insane prices for their products that are not even made of quality materials, or unique! Unfortunately, most brands know that they can get away with charging these prices since ravers want their looks to be the best they can be.
