I thought about a white ring with some sort of tinted plexiglass, but that yellow gel seems way better. However, it sems that white rings are also hard to find... :banghead: |

How about a couple of these in each hole? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220092287065 What I would do is cut the circle in your cabinet side, then cut a slightly larger circle in a piece of MDF scrap. Mount the LED strips to inside edge of that hole and then screw it to inside of your cabinet, lined up with the cabinet hole. That way the LED's won't be visible, just the yellow glow. |

Thanks Knieviel, I thinks this should do the trick... If I go with 14-15in diameter logo, I woul need 2 hole * diam (15) * Pi ~= 8 feet long. That ebay auction has 4 x 2 strip of 1 feet = 8 feet total. Total cost with shipping would be around 37US which is about what the neons were... (12+25ship. I hate it when shiiping is more expensive than item itself!!) I'll look around to see if I can find it cheaper, but this is definitively a good option!!! Thanks :cheers: |

Well if you were up to a little soldering you could make your own LED strips or even a ring and save yourself a bundle. I would get say a 1/2" wide strip of plastic or thin wood or something you could bend. Drill holes in it every inch or so and shove your led's in. Then just form it into a circle and and wire them up. Bags of LED's are cheap on eBay, from overseas sellers. I deal with those auctions for all my LED stuff, never had an issue and it gets to you suprisingly fast. Sideart idea.. If you were to cut a circle of plexi just big enough to just fit inside the LEDs(so the LEDs were touching or almost touching the plexi) the whole plexi circle would glow. If you had a logo or something laser-etched into the plexi it could look VERY cool. :) |

This time, I took the lazy way ;) --- Quote from: Knievel on March 17, 2007, 01:21:58 pm ---Sideart idea..
