Guys, I am still around and selling buttons. It hasn't been the greatest couple of weeks for me personally, so I apologize if I've been slow to respond to emails. I have just gone through and answered any backlogged emails. Not sure about when I'll have the ability to order yellows yet. As I'm sure everyone knows, Ponyboy already has them in stock. I have to make quite a large minimum order from the manufacturer, whereas Ponyboy can get them locally. I do want to say that I wholeheartedly appreciate everyone who has supported me (and continues to support me) in this endeavour. Sorry again that I've been aloof for a couple of weeks. |

I had SO many people ask me for help with my lighted leaf technique and have yet to see 1 example of someone else doing it. ??? --- End quote --- I'm with you K, I mocked up one panel and love it. My Code Freeze mini-cab will have Knievel based button lighting in a couple weeks. |

Any more updates here? I was really interested in seeing what the results of the translucent "washer".. Did anyone try that? Any pics? Or should I just break down and get the leaf switches a-la Neon Mame style? |

I took Knievel's work to heart as well, (just took me a while to order all the parts) and here's what I came up with in the variety of colors of LEDs that I had available. All buttons are clear. Overall they look really good. Some of my LEDs were a little weak and looked a little washed out under "daylight" situations. From what I've seen so far I would say you need a minimum of 5,000 mcd for a good effect. Less looks good in dim or dark lighting but not with the lights on. The red is 8,000mcd, the the yellow 5,000 and the purple 3000. The other's I'm not too sure about. For the colorblind, the colors are: Yellow, Red, Blue, Green-Blue, Pink/Purple, White, Green. |
