    Default Edge lit signs

    I have been searching all over this forum, with little luck, for pictures of the edge lit signs that people have posted in the past.

    Can anyone give me an idea about where they are located.

    I've got an opportunity to do quite a bit of this work and wanted to show the customer what can be done. NOT going to be stealing anything from anybody.

    TIA!!

    Don,

    check out edge lit signs in the Vectric forum. A lot of information. Any I have done I have reversed the lettering so that when you view them the good side of the material is at the front and the engraved is at the back.

    Regards,

    Roger.

    Default Another Led Source

    Frank, I do quite a few edge lit projects... I have been getting mine from www.coolneon.com. They seem very knowledgeable and pricing is good.

    You can check out a video I recently posted here: http://youtu.be/XK10nC2u_QE

    It will show you the finished product at the end. I will be posting pictures once it is installed.
