Ray,

I like my stuff to light up also.  Thanks for the idea.  Machine turned out nice.

Did you use pure white or warm white?  How did you mount the strip?  Where'd you run your wire through?

Thanks,

Larry.

Larry I use the warm lighting but there are two different brightness of warm. They look great. The led lighting has come along way.

Hi Larry,

I when with the pure white side view  to give it more of a fluorescent light look.  The strips is flexible and is cut to length and come with a 3M adhesive backing . It's only 8MM wide 1/3" so it fit nicely along the open of the candy display holder. I left a "service loop" for open and closing the door and candy display.  My stoner has a open back base so I ran it thought a 1/8' hole and out the back to a 12 vdc switchable transformer.

 You can get really fancy with these lights beside coming in warm or pure white they also come tri-color (RGB) .  To control them you can also get a dimmer or a remote for some special  effects and to programmed a light show  including a chaser lights mode, ..... all for around under $75. 

Thank you all for your kind remarks  biggrin  this was my first "restore project", not counting rewiring a few pinball machines. It was allot of fun, everyone was great and helpful!
