scubado Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Thanks for the info.I have a customer that does signs. Last time I was there, I showed him some of my work with LED's. He wants to get together some time and discuss some ideas. Should be interesting to see if this turns into something for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Dang Donny,you sure do play to a rough crowd! Shame you have to worry about beer bottles being thrown at your sign. Saying that, anything is possible and I could just as easy have some stupid people want to show their lack of respect at my meager show this year.

olracs Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Love your sign. Great choice in graphic design. My sign was printed through http://www.buildasign.com they are very reasonable in price. I would get it printed on a decal and attach it to plexi class and built a similar Lighted box as yours. The sign was about $16. Plexi glass around $10. Two flouresent light fixtures $20. Then lumber and time too biuld it. But it is way cool. Here is a link to the set up page http://www.buildasign.com/SignReview.aspx?T=4C6D376937433765654767446F78396F6B50744B47413D3D&cid=1509 But Donny, thanks a lot! You are giving me the fever to do something new! LOL Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaceMedic Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Thought I would share my sign with you folks.I found the graphic online and added the text. A friend of mine is in the sign business so I got 2 of them done for $50 ... they are the size of a real estate sign and will be lit from behind.DaveP.S. Holding it up to the light in my home the text lights up well with the dark background and so do the stars. Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaceMedic Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Has anyone experimented with lighting the signs from behind with LED lights like under the cabinet lights.Just thinking if they are too bright or too concentrated of a brightness ?Experiement time again !Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad02 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Very nice sign. Investing $400 in a sign is true commitment.We actually had to turn off the lights on our sign because it was in the middle of the display. We're so close to the road they weren't needed anyway.
