This is my new FH topper (binned the old jobbie)
133 RED Led's recovered from an old shop sign.
Some nutting out VDC, mA, mcd, mA draw compensation blah blah.
Lots of amusement soldering up the series parallel layout.
Fun with Photoshop making banner & tickets.
Joy of punching out 133 x 5mm holes and drilling likewise in board.
Some blue contact sheet and chrome trim . . .
and away she went.
The photos do not convey the intense
RED colour of the LEDs
against the yellow background of the lettering.
Was it worth the effort?
Oh yeah.
PS there's a solenoid powered animated toy on the drawing board now
