Marquee Lighting

(1/4) > >>

DannyH:
I have been looking around and wondering what to use for the backlight of my Marquee, I want to do it as cheap as possible and have founda fluro light for $10 that I could use that would need a few minor adjustments.

I was wondering though whether I should go for fluro or go for an incandescant bulb instead,

What do you guys think looks better, is cheaper, and easies?

Q*Bert_OP:
FLOURESCENT BULB!

Incandesant bulbs like the ones in some Dynamo and Pac man cabs get really hot really fast

DannyH:
cool, the cheapest I can find is a hand held or Hooked one used in garages etc. So I will need to make a few minor mods and a little stand for it.

I just dont know how to wire one up myself :(

versapak:
Just hit walmart, and get one of those 18" fluorescent lights for mounting under cabinets for $6-7.

Being that it is designed to mount to a cabinet anyway, it is perfect for the job.



DannyH:
sadly I am in Australia. :(

Might have to make a trip to the equivelant stores here and try and find one
