Peter,
Not really difficult to make I suppose, but how big does it have to be? how long it wanted to last? Is it outdoor or indoor? Metal or wood? On a post or on a wall?
I’ve made stuff like this in the past and the customer used a ‘disco’ lighting controller to control the lights, because that bit is beyond me.

You can get them (attached to a changeable letter sign) at Sam’s club for under $300.
But the freight might be a doozy.
Love….Jill

if I could get one that is ready made it would be good.
Outside permanent, wall mounted, about 1m long

Seriously though – maybe a programmable moving led rope light could be used – something like available here?

Peter, I purchased a moving message board which does just for you are looking for, turned to whatever position you require, approx 30 inches long, it was about £60.00
for a well know auction site, it comes with a program-er ,could be re-mounted within a arrow sign tray (removing from original housing), just an idea.
