| nova matrix (not bright at all) |

I agree. I made the fault of putting 15W TL's inside my original cabs. Now (because I'm relatively tall, the light shines in my face. I'll definitely change to something else on my other restorations, just not sure what yet... I like the concept of saving some energy by using LED lighting, on the other hand, compared to the rest of the cab it's peanuts and requires extra (12V) wiring. |

I used the nova matrix on my last jukebox build. I tested it by hooking it to 12 volts, and it was very bright. I used in the the juke mainly because I had limited space. I did place it about 9 -10 inches from the marquee. The marquee is not real bright. You really cant even tell that it is on in a lit room. It does have a pleasing glow to it in the dark. I used a marquee printed on computer paper, sandwiched between two pieces of clear plexi. One layer of paper, so I dont think the marquee is killing the light much. If I have limited space again on a future project, i will probably used the nova matrix again. But I dont think I will be using it on full sized arcade cabs. I really dont think it would be bright enough for that, and the cost does not give me the choice of using more than one on a marquee. |
