Not sure if these LED Standoffs have been shared before. One of my first big projects for my GF will be an LED kinetic acrylic sculpture that’s been brewing in my head for months. I just love the subtle light of the led signs and these standoffs make for a really sleek lighting system. Thought I’d share in case someone else finds them inspirational (Edited to add the cool signs are not mine, just examples from the website.)
On the other hand, that part would either require a lathe with live tooling (bling bling!) or a secondary operation on a mill, which means more labor. Plus the PCB with side firing LEDs has to be made. I hear PCBs are cheap, but I don’t know how cheap. $2 maybe?
Probably do t necessarily need 4 for a sign, but unless they offer some plain stand offs it is either going to look funny, or we have to use 4…if wholesale gets a decent volume discount, might be something good for the GF shop to carry as an add on item to acrylic proof grade material.
I’ve purchased several of these from outwater ( and I went to there store in Phoenix), if you can get their catalog they have some very neat stuff and prices are not too bad. (A lot of led ideas)
You would probably only want one of these per sign (with matching regular standoffs) unless, say, you wanted to be able to tune the sign color on the fly.
