LCD LIGHT HOUSINGS

[larglo]

Hi all,

I saw somewhere a site that sells a plastic housing that holds 2 LED's. Right now I have an (exposed) LED lights, that comes on when I throw the toggle switch. Looks cool, but with these I can put text in front of the hsg so when it lights, it will show what ever device the switch supports, such as " APU" or BAT, ETC. When I first saw them, I didn't know what they were for.

I am learning more as I go building my sim, like, I need SPDT switches instead of SPST, so as to turn the component "on" in the "up" position and "off" in the "down" position, compared to the SPST switch, where as I need to switch the toggle twice to get it off. So, I am ordering several SPDT switches I have now to replace the switches I have now. If I can find these housings, I replace the single exposed LED

Any who,,,,If someone knows where I can buy these plastic housings, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks,

Larry

Hi,

Yes, that is what I'm looking for. Now I'll need the separate legends to put in them.

Thanks

Hello all,

I've seen another solution to LED housing: the man cut approx. 3x5x5cm cubes from bright metal, then glued coloured plexi (with titles) to the front plate, LEDs to the back plate. That's it!
But I have a question: what's the soultion to driving LEDs? What uses man? With Pokey Cards or Opencockpit cards, Arduino etc.? I looking for the easiest solution.
