Hi folks.

I have been approached by a manufacturer of LED lighting of all kinds.
I'm going to be placing an order for LED lighting and controllers shortly.
I am doing this for an architectural lighting project I have coming up soon.

I also want to start carrying flexible LED strips for sale on my web site.
The kind of stuff like you guys can find in most hobby shops.
If any of you on this BB have any ideas as to what you might want to
see me carry at my web store, please post your thoughts or ideas here. :02cents:

I hope all of you will give me some feedback or advice.

Thanks in advance for everyone's help.

I will not be carrying single leds at this time. I will be selling flexible LED strips.

If you want super bright LED's try Alan's Electronics.
Their prices are pretty good for single LED's or bulk.

Hope this helps.

The key thing with these really is the price per metre. I bought four reels of soft white to install in my deck railing. I think it worked out to less than $5 per metre after shipping.

 

That's a not a bad price.

 

Thunder Hawk,

I carry the LED strip Lights and unless you are attending events with night flying, have an active night flying group close by, or have a good lighting set up that really interests people, then sales are a bit slow. Of course those of you living further East than Arizona, you tend to have a more dense [in number I mean] population base than I have here in the west. [80% of my customer base leaves for 4 months during the summer]

Just as as FYI for those of you with really great electronics skills, I met a fellow in California that had close to 100 feet of these mounted/embedded in the Elepor Foam of his plane. He also had miles of wire running through the plane. Each two inch section of the light shared the Positive connection with the power source but two inch each section had its own Negative connection back to a controller that he had built and ran his won custom code. From his radio, he could toggle his gear switch and switch through 8 or 10 different lighting schemes. His plane gave off so much light that I could read a book while standing next to it!!

 

I am going to start producing edge lit signs here in the coming months. The kind of thing for a desk or shelf. This is what I'm going to do with the LED's I'm getting. I do intend to sell LED's for RC use.

I have been lucky enough to team up with some bright engineers who are buying a lot of LED lighting. They offered me a chance to get associated with the manufacturer and to get involved in some decorative lighting design work. Very cool stuff.

The kind of edge light design work I'll be doing for this job is not something you can do on a pp.
Mark would need to design a very stout pp for that kind of work. Hint Hint :ugeek: :ugeek:

I'll keep you folks posted. When I get the flexible strips and controllers in I'll post pictures.

Cheers.

 

Mark,

Just send me the art you want on the sign in DXF format and I'll send you a quote.

Cheers.
