Pedaltrain uunder board lighting

You could always get some kind of fairy lights or led strip lighting.

Perhaps like this: http://www.ledlights-hotban.com/uploadfile/201103/20110321010420652.jpg

 

Surely you could do some electronic jiggery-pokery with an 18v source and resistors

 

They make LED rope lights that run on batteries, you can find them at Lowe's or Walmart. LED's draw very little power, so the batteries should last for months.

 

Have you tried tested any kind of lights underneath your board before you fork out of anything specific to do the job?

The reason I ask, is back-lighting anything tends to make what's in front of the light source a silhouette. Thus you may find on a dark stage you can make out the pedal shapes (if you have enough space between them) but not the switches and knobs.

 

I purchased 2 blue neon strips from a local electronic shop, which I then velcroed under a pt2 and ran it off the 12v ac output with a little switch wired in. It was as simple as adding the right sized plug to the lights... Took me 5 mins in total...

 

I'm still not seeing how that would light up the pedals on top in any way. It'll light the floor under it and make the pedals more difficult to see.

 

I used a kit like this when I did it to my pedaltrain.

12in Dual Blue Cold Cathode Kit at Xoxide!

12v dc input and you can have the switch to turn on and off.

Just have to can and splice the connections to a boss style adapter to fit into the fuel tank.

 

Just go to any auto parts shop buddy! Cars run on 12v and the boy racers like the led lighting strips. eBay will turn up shed loads of them I'm sure.
