Cool. I think I'm gonna do mine in blue.

That's awesome! Good work.

Freakin' Sweet.
What did you do, remove the wood and replace it with a sheet of plastic/plexiglass?

And what kinda lights did you use/where did you connect them to power?

I cut a rectangular hole in the wood and put the cloth back on. The lights are stapled on the inside top of the head and are separate plug in to the wall.

I can change the bulbs to any color that I like.....I picked red for now.

Why not just internally wire them up to the mains?

What kind of lights did you use? I was thinking LEDs, but it would be pretty hard to get an extra 4-5amps out of my 6.3V line for that much brightness.

I don't know of any LEDs that would DRAW 4-5 amps...and that would take a pretty hefty LED army to even get that much draw from them.

Some LEDs are pretty damn bright yet don't draw hardly anything.

I'am afraid to add noise to the circuit or humming noise.

I was thinking of using an array on CREE XR-Cs that I have lying around
Those can easily draw 1.5A each @ about 3V for green.

That's pretty bitchen!

I know this is bringing up a old post, but could you make a little walkthrough, to it?
