Any recommendations as to whether I should go LCD or LED for a color DMD? I've skimmed through the LCD vs LED thread, but didn't see Met used as an example. I was hoping to get some insight from within the club as to which is preferred.
Quoted from yzfguy:I like these. I never put a screw in, I can't believe someone would drill holes in the game to "protect " it.
Those rails look great! Do you have a link to purchase?
Quoted from Lermods:Modified my backbox to remove the fluorescent tube and replaced it with led strips. The center area has rgb color changing and fading effects. sides and bottom are blue, top is orange for fire area and green for metallica lettering, those are lit all the time. Really brightens and evens out the backbox lighting, particularly the outside edges.

Looks nice! Where do you draw the power from?
Could you post pics with the translight out and where you plug it in?
Quoted from Lermods:Yep, no problem. Power is pulled from the auxillary plug in the front of the cabinet. I have it hooked up two different ways, but off the same controller. One set is on all the time, other set has fading effects. It's a little complicated. There's a lot of soldering involved and in very small spaces.
The effects are very significant. Look how bright the outside edges are. Compare to a stock game.
I'm willing to make these for anyone who wants one, it's plug and play. Takes several hours to make and get right. I can also tie them to flashers if requested. Can be done to any stern.
Wow, fantastic.
I would absolutely be interested in one for my SM. I got it in a trade, and there's some issue with the florescent tube. There were some hacks done, and I can't wrap my head around what they did. I was hoping to replace it with LED strips, and your setup blows away anything I'd be able to do on my own. I'd get better visual results and wouldn't have to troubleshoot the previous hacks.
Let me know what you think they'd cost, and thanks for offering up your service.
