jonwayne Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Part 1 is here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...topic=10264&hl= Decided to change the lighting system again, and went around looking for this: http://store.yahoo.com/svcompucycle/ccfltubes.html The cathode light tube wasn't so nice when I saw it. So, finally I bought this at a local shop: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonw...binet/LED_1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonw...binet/LED_2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonw...binet/LED_3.jpg For those interested to see how was it done: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonw...inet_Back_1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonw...inet_Back_2.jpg Finally completed: More pics here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonw...binet_3rd_1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonw...binet_3rd_3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonw...binet_3rd_4.jpg The price for the LED is SGD$25 per strip. 30 LEDs in a strip. I used 12 strips for the whole thing. Blue LED is more expensive. Other colour LED is only SGD$12 per strip. All runs on 12V DC supply. And in case anyone is interested in that headless gundam, here is a closeup: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonw...ncomplete_1.jpg Not complete yet. That's why it's headless and handicapped.
promethuem5 Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 What is that very large and scary Gundammy thing in the far bottom?

promethuem5 Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Neato. I was wondering where it;s arms and head were.... cool beans. Like the light setup alot. Adds some cool uniqueness to your display.
wolfx Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Well done! I can't remember, but were you the one who also integrated the gundam's LEDs with the cabinet's lighting?
jonwayne Posted March 21, 2005 Author Posted March 21, 2005 yes, that's in part 1 of the modification. and now the Gundam LED runs on a separate 3V suuply.
hevangel2 Posted March 21, 2005 Posted March 21, 2005 Wow... that look really nice. How come the big gundam has no head and arms?

jonwayne Posted March 21, 2005 Author Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) a SD gundam on the top shelf that was very big compared to the others what is its name?I think u mean this one:http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN53283 Picture of it can be seen in this catalog. 2nd row, 2nd column: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/mush...am73/page43.jpg Picture of mine: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v75/jonw.../SD_Gundam2.jpg how's the LED fed the juice to power up, is it by battery or wall socket?I used a 12V DC power supply adaptor. The adaptor is plugged into the wall socket. You can also mod one from a old PC power supply unit. These LED strips are meant for PC modification usage. Edited March 21, 2005 by jonwayne
