Neon Glow

[MrLister 10+ year member]

I want to put some hidden neon glow (so you can't see the stick but you can see the glow on the amps).

Is it better to use something like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FLEXIBLE-LED-Neon-BLUE-Underbody-Undercar-Glow-Street_W0QQitemZ270191968962QQihZ017QQcategoryZ33714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I want it to all around the amps and I like the idea of the rope but is it bright enough? The sticks would leave gaps in certain areas.

I'd suggest

http://www.oznium.com/flexible-led-strips

or

http://www.oznium.com/cathodes

depending on the type of glow you want, it's mad cheap there, too.

That middle link you posted, the El-wire won't do it for you.

I'm looking for about 20ft. The other product would cost me $200. Similar products on ebay for 50ft go for $120 and even a lot less.

I e-mailed them to see if they have any bulk buy deals or christmas specials but just in case do http://cgi.ebay.com/LED-50-3-8-12V-ROPE-LIGHT-WHITE-BLUE-GREEN-NEW_W0QQitemZ170175663430QQihZ007QQcategoryZ43424QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem work just as well?

Those ebay led rope lights aren't going to be quite as nice as the flexistrips (I'm assuming that's what your looking at), and might be spotty, but yea they'll work , especially if you're looking for a lower price.

I'm curious.. what might you be using 20' of lighting for? You must have a whole SPL van full of amps to light up. I don't think I have 20' worth of lighting in my car even, lol.

Lol well this is what I'm thinking.

4 x DLS A6 amps (~18" width each, ~10" height each for total circumfrance of 56" x 4 = 224")

The plexi glass windows for where the distro blocks assuming roughly 5" on each side x 2 windows for a total of 50"

224" + 50" = 274"

274" = 23'

Two of the amps are side by side so that eliminates 10" but then any other accents such as around the sub circles would require more.

You don't have to circle the entire thing in LED rope, top and bottom should work for you.

However if you do do what you'r planning it'll be bright as hell! 8)
