I don't imagine the people here will get too excited about this since it's neither portable, Luxeon powered, nor puts out enough lumens to land planes by, however it turned out so nice that I had to share it anyway. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Gasp in awe of my Nichia illuminated display case!
Nichia and tail shot of my favorite fossil /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif :
Typical display case lights are halogen and often run close to $100. Silly when the case itself only cost $40. Instead, two 50 degree Nichias for each level, angled in from the sides and hidden by the wood molding that composes the case. A hidden toggle switch at the top extends just a few millimeters from the case and a power jack at the bottom for the wall-wart finshes the setup. Total cost: $25.
You may now return to blinding each other.
