exterior neon lighting???

Pages: (1/3) > >>

Im sooo confused and lost in the world of lighting...im looking for something to accent the outside of my cab and hide a few neon/led strips on portion below the controls and possibly somewhere else. The cab will be painted black and the trim is red. I dont need anything insane only because how often am I going to playing this thing in the dark. I was thinking of running cold cathode tubes but not sure on powering them or being able to turn them off without unplugging wires...

Nephasth:

Go with LED strips.

willybeamish:

Will do thanks you like those better than the cold cathode tubes??

I recommend the Sylvania coloured LED strips.  They can be turned on/off via remote control and set to a variety of different colours.  You should be able to find them at Home Depot.

Yep. Check out the Two-Headed Beast in my signature. Cheap Chinese RGB strips, an LED-Wiz, and LEDBlinky is how I set up my cabinet lighting that can change based on game selection, and machine events such as pause, game loading, front end, and sound reactive. I've got about $45 in the cabinet lighting on that machine.
