stickerman 28 Posted February 24, 2015 Been doing sandblasting for awhile now but would love to do a couple led backlit signs. Would someone be willing to walk me through what I need to buy (and where) and how to do it. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr300s 1,272 Posted February 24, 2015 There was a member just recently that was into and sold the led lights. Not sure if they are still active, try doing a search I think they had led in their user name... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted February 24, 2015 You can buy 5 meter rolls of the lights for 8 to 12 dollars on eBay. If you get the single color lights you only need to hook them up to 12volt power. If you get the color changing one, you need a controller. I've made a couple of things and they are easy to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darcshadow 1,627 Posted February 24, 2015 are you wanting to do back lighting, or edge lighting like Jay's image? LightingEver.com has good prices on LED strips, Amazon, E-Goal 5M LEDs are pretty good prices as well and more of a color selection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted February 24, 2015 When you buy them, make sure of what you are getting. There are different brightness and number of LED's per meter. Here is some good information on the different types of LED's. http://www.flexfireleds.com/pages/Comparison-between-3528-LEDs-and-5050-LEDs.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stickerman 28 Posted March 1, 2015 I like what Jay did. Will have to look into the LEDs a bit harder I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
