Marquee lighting... LEDs or fluorescent?
<< < (2/5) > >>
SirPeale:
I'd go with florescent lighting.  It's the industry standard after all, and parts are readily available and cheap.  An F15 T8 fixture can be bought, complete, for around eight dollars @ Wal-Mart.

Yep my 8 dollar WalMart florescent has been going for 3 years and I have yet to replace the bulb.

 I installed a "newegg special" psu  and didnt want to add any unnecessary strain on it.( if any from led's)

yeah, i used a standard 18" t12 fixture i had around.

i also put a happ blank door on top of the cabinet. no marquee removal or screws to mess with, just open the door pop in a new bulb and your good for a couple more years.

I've got several original tubes in my original cabs which still work....go figure....

We sell a CCFL tube which runs from 12 volts which is intended for this purpose, so thats a third option.
