Was thinking of making some marquee light boxes..

can you post some pics of your various ones? Any plans you can post too?

Looking for suggestions and sizes...

I was thinking boxes to hold several at a time.. and use black board to fill in empty spaces until getting a marquee in there..

rope light , led light, or florescent lights inside? Way to hide cords going up the wall? How deep?

Better ideas to light up marquees and display them??
 
Here'e one we use to have in our shop a few years ago (before my boss sold it). it was made of wood, about 6" deep with a flourescent fixture inside. It was cut to exact size of the marquee (with slots on each wood piece for it to fit into) and could be stacked. It had a cord with a thumb-wheel switch...

that is cool.. I just thinking to have lots of them , it would be a bit of pain to make them all...

I got to thinking.. I have white rope lighting at the junction of wall and ceiling already... wonder if I could just use some mounting tabs, like for a wall mirror to mount the marquee at a 45 degree from the ceiling to wall..

so my existing rope lighting will already be there and in use... no shelf either..

the wood frame would look so much cooler tho...


Wonder if a vertical wood frame... with slots that you could drop new marquees in from the top.. have 5-6 at a time in there... ?

Someone on here did the rope light marquee thing around the top of the wall / ceiling just like your talking about. You should do some searching and see if you can find it. I will try and find it too.
 
Hmm, I have framed a few marquees but the light box idea is really cool! The crux for me would be that I only frame the marquess that do not look good installed in the cab, i.e. scratched, etc.
I think I will try to score some better marquees!
