Title: Pushbutton Inserts/Art?
Post by: dawolv on February 16, 2011, 09:04:53 am

Hi Guys,
Any ideas on where to get some images/inserts for LED pushbuttons?
Im looking for something that will allow the light to shine through but also lets you know what the button is.
I will be using Ultralux Translucents and just looking for the basics, P1, P2, Coin, Pause, Back/Exit

Maybe use these inserts and put a black vinyl on it from Pongo in buy and sell.

I just plain old paper, but the buttons I am lighting up are white.  You could get some transparent labels, like the kind you use to address envelopes, from an office supply store and then cut them out and apply them to the diffuser.
