scott do you have a black with translucent for back lighting. I've checked with a few people and no one has that stock in outdoor rated. jh

Thats because it doesn;t exist.....so I came up with my own solution. ANY of my black panels are back lightable, I use a system that utilizes ultrabrite LED's and get a perfect shine through non translucent panels.

This has allowed me to be the only guy who can make a truly rugged backlit panel. This panel below is the best exterior material made period, and the one below it is the same material lit up with my system.

So are you using an LED on each one or are you using a light box approach. Space behind mine is a bit tight on the top. Is this sytem dimmable and/or compatible with a red lighting system for better night vision. That is a really nice panel. Here is what I'm trying to replace. jh

No worries about space at all, the lights are dimmable and compatable with any 12v dimmer system. for the moutning bad I use a transparent whit bar that collects the unused light and shine it back...that means your back lighting lightsup the entire under console area as well, so you get two for one type of thing. There is a pic of my wiring and the LED light bar from that panel

Here are a couple pics of a set I made jrgrady:
the light bars are designed to shine backwards too so you can light up inside of a console as well as read the text on the panel. I have a couple more GRady panels I am doing now and will post them up when finished

Actually I would have said, Go Birds (Eagles), but we all know how that went down. Just breakin your chops, probably wont even watch the game since the birds wont be there. I will be on the lookout, did you get the other template?

Eagles gave us a serious game. Feely came out slinging anf had confidence seeing he beat us in Miami. I got the template today, looks good.
