Making a sign (80cm x 50cm for each character) and want to illuminate them (for a wedding)
Would you use normal bulbs or leds?
How would you do it? light bulbs in series or parallel? Battery or mains - AAAAGH!!
cheers in advance!!
Led every time. No heat to worry about and you could probably run them from a battery.
LED tape strip? http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-led-tape-flex-striplight-cool-white/78616
This one is mains power.
5mm leds?
LED all the way.
Bit cheaper @ Maplin: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/maplin-5m-outdoor-led-white-mains-powered-light-strip-kit-a12ln
needs to be flexible and not mega expensive
I saw a sign with led bulbs (e10 fitting i think) that looked like 10mm globe incandesant bulbs but struggling to find some 🙁
any ideas??
LED strips or garden type lights
LED lights from IKEA run on two AAs
My local Lidl had some LED flexible strips for about £7 the other day
drill a board in the pattern you want and push (led) christmas tree lights through.
Saying led and no heat to worry about... Are you sure....? 8)
Candles ?
Temporary sign obvs. Use christmas lights? Drill through back plate poke each bulb through a hole and fix on the back..
