Lighted Control Panel Overlay Surface
Sardu:
I wonder if 3/4" or 1" thick plexiglass like the stuff found here:

could be used as a CP. Then you just add a light inside like a lightbox.
Or get your overlay printed with glow in the dark paper or ink

Sardu - Maybe you should have a signature that says, "Not THAT Sardu"
If you don't know what I'm talking about, look up NESticle, Genecyst, and Callus. (Oh, and Bloodlust Software)
whynotpizza:
Good suggestions guys, although I was thinking along the following lines and using a lighted ON or OFF system.
Check this stuff out: http://www.elbestbuy.com/2hibrperfo.html
It would require me cutting a 2.3mm groove in the lightning bolts using some sort of dremel or router (very careful is the word!) :) but then I could turn ON or OFF as needed. I also like the fact that I am not using a BLACKLIGHT - those things get into your eyes and bother you I seem to recall, but maybe not.
Ah the choices are endless and will certainly take time to work thru testing the options!
As a side note, the link above also sells this LIVE TRACK system which really looks cool to add around the cabinet for detailing.

haha, yep.. I remember him. Wasn't it rumored that we went to work for EA or something?
Anyway, been using "Sardu" from "Bloodsucking Freaks" movie on various sites, games, etc, since '98. ;D

David, you may have better luck with EL Tape rather than EL line... Have a look at some of the work here-

The tape is going to be much flatter and would fit between the artwork and Plexi rather easily...
