NephRings are designed to be mounted between your joystick base and control panel to provide LED lighting to your dust washer area. They can be used with either top mounted (if translucent) or under mounted dust washers. Unlike LED lit balltops, the wiring harnesses of NephRings do not move, eliminating the risk of twisted and broken wires.

The NephRing is a laser cut piece of 1/8” acrylic plate that is cut to the same size and hole layout as your joystick base. The hole is designed to be 1/8" smaller in diameter than your control panel joystick hole, this will allow the NephRing to be exposed 1/16" all the way around the hole. When installed, LEDs are mounted to the edges of the plate shining inwards, allowing the ring in the center to illuminate.
Each NephRing comes with an LED harness containing 4 individual RGB LEDs wired together to act as one. These LEDs can be wired to your LED controller and allow you to change the colors of the LEDs on demand across a wide spectrum of different colors. If you don’t have an LED controller, they can be hard wired to a power supply to produce one of 7 different colors (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Pink/Purple, Teal, and White). You can request to have your LEDs wired for either 5V or 12V operation. The LEDs and harnesses are hand soldered and made by myself.
These are the available colors when hard wiring RGB LEDs:
This pic shows an LED harness installed. This was a prototype harness, but your harness will be pretty much the same, just 2" longer. The harness you will receive consists of two parts, the LED harness and the power harness, separated by a Molex connector. Each half of the harness is about 8" long. You will have to connect to the power harness by your own means, pinout information can be found in the thrid post of this thread.
If you plan on using your NephRings with a PACLED64, please let me know when you order. Due to the current limitations of the PACLED64, only one RGB LED can be wired to a set of 3 outputs (one for red, one for green, and one for blue) on the PACLED64 (without the use of mosfets). However, resistors are not required for the LEDs when used with a PACLED64. You will receive LEDs with 4 color coded wires attached to each one, the set of 4 LEDs per NephRing will not be wired together so you will be able to wire each LED individually to your PACLED64. Keep in mind the number of outputs required for each NephRing when using them with a PACLED64. To have 4 LEDs to light up a NephRing would require 12 available outputs from your PACLED64. To save outputs, though, you can reduce the number of LEDs being used to light each NephRing. I have 3 RGB LEDs lighting each NephRing on the Two-Headed Beast.
