I want to be able to selectively illuminate the front and/or back of my rack, and I have no need for a power conditioner. I have searched this site and performed several Google searches, but have been unable to find simple rack lights that aren't part of a Furman-type device or have other features that I simply don't need. I am prepared to fabricate something using a 1U plate, a few lamps, and a two switches, but thought I'd ask here first. If there's a high-quality rack-mounted tuner that also has rack lights, that could also work. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I found two. Any other options? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Nady-RL2-1U-Rack-Light-System?sku=183714 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product?sku=548000
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/prod...-2Channel-Rack-Tuner-and-Metronome?sku=210600 Gets decent reviews
Thanks, Tim. From the reviews, it appears to have a little trouble resolving the lowest notes, but it'd still be better, and less expensive, than an empty rack space or an unneeded Furman!
I built my own racklight with 3 LED modules and a power supply. These are the commercial type used in signs. The run from a wall wart and are nice and bright. I used them in a reflective arrangement in a handmade aluminum shade that resides on the top space in my rack. They're red! Sorry for the quality but it's nearly impossible to hold steady for a long exposure in the dark.
Hi Hambone, Very cool! Do you accept Pay-Pal? Seriously though (who, me? ), that's a great idea - and may be something I'll do when time permits. Thanks for posting!!!
I've got one of those Behringer tuners and haven't had a problem with mine. I love the rack lights and I wanted a rack tuner anyway. However, if you don't want the tuner, that little Nady system for $20 seems like exactly what you were asking about.
