Classic Marquee Display
KagatoAMV:
This doesn't quite measure up to the cabinet projects here, but I finally got around to putting together a couple of boxes in order to illuminate some of the classic marquees I have. I think I first posted about wanting to make these over a year ago... :)
The box is made from some scrap pine with 1/4" MDF as the backboard. The LED lightbar inside is more expensive than I'd like, so I'm still trying to figure out the best way to light these.
First, Sinistar!
And without the flash, you can see it is illuminated.
Please forgive me if this is in the wrong forum.

I used some 3/4" MDF for the sides of this display, to start practicing for the day I build by own cabinet. I used a little round LED spot inside, but that might be putting to much light in the center and not enough at the edges.
And without the flash

Why not just put a $7.00 under-counter fluorescent fixture in it?

Those cheap small fluros still get pretty warm when operating, LEDs less so.
Have you looked to see if any of the strips on dealextreme would be able to be used? Just watch the 12v is 12v with them, most are just driven by a resistor so any more and you fry them.
