I've read the posts and most people recommend fluorescent for lighting the marquee. However, I was wondering if anyone had any luck using white LED's. A local car shop sells 18" super bright white LED tubes for around $10. I was hoping to avoid another plug in my cab and I've found fluorescent bulbs can buzz and create interference.
Also I saw a few posts regarding white cold cathodes. Anyone running cold cathodes to light a marquee? Computer mod shops are now selling these for under $10.

I suppose you could use just about anything i use flurescent lighting and stayed with it because i could take the cover off or put it on or turn it around.That might sound stupid but you want you marquess to look perfect (as fas as brightness) Only paid $8.00

Yeah, I thought about Super bright's too, but on reflection I'm gonna go with a fluorescent tube as I reckon you'll get a more uniform/consistent spread of light. They are so cheap too.
