KrawDaddy:

The nice thing about tape, You can always replace it without damage to your cab.

JustMichael:

I have two flourescent lights in my cab.  I mounted one the normal way (screws through the screw holes) and the other flourescent gave better light on it's side so I screwed the screws through the plastic side of the light and into the wood of the cab.

LeedsFan:

I have a cabinet that I've converted to Mame. It alreaady had a flourescent light fixture to the marquee, but it wasn't very bright. I uprated the bulb which really brought out the Mame marquee that I got from Mamemarquees.com.  However, I have to go around the cabinet blacking out the light leaks through all the little gaps.

Perhaps I'm just a perfectionist (without the knowledge  ;)) but I can't do with light leaking out where it shouldn't!

NiteWalker:

Get some l brackets and screw those to the top of your cabinet with the screwed in side facing you. Then just bolt the light to the other holes on the other part of the L.

Pacific Ripper:

there's a red double-sided tape that won't come off easily - I think 3M makes it. I use it at the sign shop and it's great for sticking things together and it won't come off without a fight.
