    What is the 'best' product for displaying a translight as wall art? I'm looking for something simple, battery powered to reduce ugly cord hanging, and fairly inexpensive. I'd love some feedback, or perhaps plans to build my own? If I go that route, what LEDs would work and where in the box would they be mounted? Any help would be great, TIA.

    Try LitFrames here. See if you like it for the price. It hangs on the wall with frame hooks. Stern has some I think Pinballs.com still sells them, they are cheaper, but those require wall anchors to mount. I have a few of those as well. LCD and DMD sizes in both. Not battery powered tho, maybe not what you want.

    Thanks Koz. I think I need to hold out for a battery powered frame, or make one.

    It is easy to make your own. I have done a few.
    I will try and find the post I made in a thread about light boxes.
