jfunk:
How deep are those boxes? I've got a bunch of marquees I want to do something similar with, but don't want them to be too deep. And I've run across the same issue trying to find the best lighting source, so if you find anything worth looking at, let us know!
Looks great!
KagatoAMV:
Sinistar is 3.5" deep and Quartet is 3" deep. I wanted them deep enough so they'd stand on their own without falling over.
I'm going to try illuminating one with one of those under the counter fluorescent fixtures, but I noticed the light had a noticeable yellow tint to it. I'm also not sure about the heat. As Richms mentions, LEDs are supposed to be lower heat and lower power consumption.
I'll take some construction photos for the next ones I build.
jfunk:
Awesome! Thanx!
richms:
You can get daylight or cool white tubes for the small fluro lights - the ship with a warm white because woman seem to like the crusty orange emulation of an incandescent light more then an accurate colour rendering, and they are the ones that work under them ;)
Expect to pay more then you paid for the fitting however since they are not sold in great volumes like the 1200mm and 1500mm tubes for normal fluro lights.
SavannahLion:
White Christmas LED lights with a diffuser. Wait until after the holidays and those things should go for a ridiculous discount. You'll have to experiment a bit with the diffuser. The fluorescent kitchen light inserts would be good to try.
