| Marquee lighting... LEDs or fluorescent? |

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) mj147 |
| mvsfan:
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. |

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