Translucent Microswitch Buttons **www.fxbuttons.com**
Popcorrin:
Typically what is the best way to light a translucent button?
NIVO:
generally l.e.d. or cold cathode would be the way as their is virtually no heat, and the hour life is quite long. They are also made at many different lumen intensity levels as well.
Popcorrin:
Do you typically use one l.e.d. per button or do you just use a few on the bottom side of your control panel to light all of them?
NIVO:
well lets say i had 6buttons(in a fighter pattern) id simply put a cold cathode tube directly in the center of the two rows underneath them, should light all 6, given your situation of course.
As far as simply lighting one, yes id use a led either underneath the button or possibly inside the button(modification being required of course). Putting inside the button in my opinion would require a less bright led, if your going for a simple soft glow, which i would personally prefer.
ras2a:
Orange, Red and Yellow. Can't wait to see them when you get them done!
