Quoted from terryb:In the future I'll just add (non-intrusively) a couple of colored LED's under the apron. I always convert the GI to LED's so adding a couple more to the circuit won't be a problem. The only downside is a small bit of each corner of the card won't get illuminated. Other than that they should look almost as good.
Great idea.
What kind of paper in this instance?
Quoted from terryb:I presume you mean paper instead of the EL card? I don't think any would be needed.
Sorry, misunderstood (never saw the Dracula video/thread you referred to--thought you might be making your own cards using some sort of translucent paper or actually making your own EL cards).
If I now (finally) understand your plan correctly: it sounds like you've already got the cards from Germany, have deduced the circuit risk isn't worth it, and will simply run LEDs underneath each card.
Wonder how hard it is to make your own EL cards--or a close facsimile lit by LEDs?
