I'm about tired of my Taito marquee... Even when I have all the bulbs in, it just doesn't match in my head to what a marquee should looks like when lit (I know, I know... it looks how it's SUPPOSED to look with the bulbs)...
I've been thinking about how to "fix" it without "breaking"... I really want to leave the wall that the original bulbs mount to in there, so that rules out having a standard bulb in there... I was thinking about tapping 12V from the power supply and running it to some cold cathode lights (the ones a lot of people use in computers and cars).
I was just wondering if anyone has done anything like that and how it looked? I would love to do 2 12" lights in there, but as my bulbs aren't mounted in a straight line... it really only gives me room for a 6" at the top and a 12" at the bottom of the bulbs...
Is this just one of those things I'm going to have to try out or can someone talk me out of it and give me a better option?
