Has anyone ever seen any of this stuff. http://www.lighttape.com/  It looks pretty cool, I saw this and thought that someone could use it as T molding or something. I wonder how expensive it is.

drventure:
It looks identical to EL Wire. just flat.

I ordered some of that out of china and have been playing with it for several weeks now for the marquee of a cab I'm working on.

No pictures yet, but I'll post something when it's farther along.

But it's amazingly easy to work with, and it looks pretty slick. Plus there a tons of colors available.

ChadTower:

Holy crap that stuff is expensive, though...  :o

Dude, you have so got to post some pics of that. Did you see under the examples though of some of the stuff you can do with it because it is flat? What would be really slick I think would be to integrate some of this stuff into a CPO graphic... I mean if folks think lighted buttons and joysticks are cool, imagine what lighted text on a CPO would look like.

drventure:
Exactly. It wouldn't fit with the current cab I'm building, but I saw a post by someone here recently speculating on doing a CP where the labels and possibly the art itself would change to adapt to the game being played (for instance, by using e-ink paper on the CP).

Now THAT would be frackin' cool! (pardon my BSG ;) )
