I got the lights for my daughters birthday cake, which we changed themes now so I won't be using it at all.  Maybe the next cake  :)

I really do want to try some on my cabinet though.  But only if it fits the cab, not just sticking lights all over for fun.  I would like to try and outline some characters on the side art with side glow cable.  But I think I need to CNC the grooves around the characters, I doubt I'd do a good job freehanding the cut.

Rather than dealing with fiber optics, why not consider using EL-wire?

Its quite a bit cheaper, doesn't have heat issues, and is a bit more friendly than glass fiber.

Just a thought.

Where can you get EL wire?  I am happy to see this idea on the board.  I have thought about using FO lighting for a long time as I have seen some really wicked signs using it for lighting effects.
