Title: LED or neon wall art, any recommendations or places to buy from?
Post by: Phouglas on April 17, 2018, 01:56:38 am

Looking to complete my game room with some wall art. Would like some neon or LED lighted art because I have some plugs that are high up so it would fit nicely. Anyone purchase some for their game room or man cave? Best places online and recommendations? Thanks!

I got one of these for my nerd dungeon:

It came from ebay brand new and inexpensive.

I have one like Tichgamer's, except it's the ATARI name and logo, in green. They're etched perspex lit by LEDs, and give a great neon-like effect. Also from ebay. The seller also had Nintendo and SEGA ones.

I can make those. I have done several as night lights for my friends' kids. I can quote you some prices if you like. Mostly just to cover shipping and materials.

It is hard to get a good representation of them with a pic.

I laser etch and cut the acrylic. I buy the base from a website. I used to make the base myself, but it is much easier  to buy it. I can ship it wherever you want. You just have to pay the shipping and materials cost.

Could you do one that says "Insert Tacky Logo Here"?

I will let Tyler know that you disapprove of his logo choice. He is five. :P
