Now shipping...

This one was born out of pure frustration.  The original marquee light sockets and wiring in my cabinet were shot, so I needed a replacement.  Just as well, as the tubes weren't inexpensive nor especially easy to find.  That cheap fluorescent fixture at the home store seemed like a great idea at the time.  Sure it was pain to install; bulky plastic case, fat 110v cord and plug needed to be fed around components in the cabinet and a vacant spot on the power strip was required.  But the work was done and everything was fine....until a few months later when the thing just died.  I don't know why, maybe because I leave it on all of the time or maybe due to the heat that builds up in that small area, but nonetheless, it no longer worked.  So I bought another and went through the same tiresome steps of installing it.  Just a few short months later, the tube blew.  Figuring this was the weak link, I considered buying a quality tube.  It would cost only a dollar less than a new fixture with a tube included.  But I bought it anyway, hoping for the best...3 months later the new fixture started blinking like it had gone insane and wouldn't stop until I finally pulled the plug.  Months passed.  I could no longer endure the dead stare of the dark marquee....something needed to be done.

Enter the NovaMatrix™ LED Marquee Light.

Features:


* Incredibly Bright - Each unit includes 16 intensely high output, wide-angle, "cool white" LEDs.
* Low Voltage - 12v operation means that the marquee light may be connected directly to your PC power supply for simple "auto-on" operation .
* Long Life - LEDs are rated at up to 100,000 hours of "on" time.  That's up to 10 years longer than conventional lighting!
* Low Operating Costs - Reduce your carbon footprint by 1/1500 and stave off the end of the world by several milliseconds for every fluorescent you replace!*
* Small and Lightweight - 11.5" x .5" Can be mounted just about anywhere and on almost any surface.  Optimal distance from marquee is 6" to 14".
* Includes a 6" power cable with connector for attaching to unit, screws and plastic standoffs.
Price:  $17.95

This should give some idea as to how versatile the NovaMatrix is.  It's actually screwed to the plastic cases of the amplified speakers in the marquee area of the cabinet.

* Disclaimer: The NovaMatrix™ may not actually stave off the end of the world by the time specified, but you probably won't know one way or the other.

 Usually Im not to big on LED lighting for certain things because the
light is too focused.    However,  the pics look very good.  LED tech
must be getting a lot better.

 Great solution, Great job  :)

Awesome idea!

Is there any way to dim down the light? Having some control over the brightness could be another advantage over fluorescents.

This is super cool.  I have looked on the web and found similar solutions but I'm hoping yours will be cheaper!!!!   ;D

It's ALMOST what I'm looking for  :)  The "optimal distance" thing is what kills me..  I've got a bunch of old marquees I want to light, but I want to make a "thin" display..  And I'd love to chain them together to reduce wire clutter...

Anyways, my wish list..  But yours is DEFINITELY tempting to try...
