    Hi All

    As we about to venture in to making our own fret cut illuminated trays etc can I get some recommendations for companies who can supply LED’s and all the other bits required (transformers etc etc) Ideally a company who offers good support as we will probably have a lot of questions.

    Many thanks

    Warren

    Hi Warren,

    In another life I used to sell Sloan LED’s there not the cheapest but they are backed up with great warranties. I’m sure you can google to find a distributor. You buy by the box so I would suggest you make your tray depth universal so you can utilise a single type of module to suit the depth of tray. With the Sloan range you also can buy the Modules / drivers / wire / even the self sealing connectors and what ever tools you need, also when I was selling them we organised one day training courses. Hope this helps

    We use Perspex. We just send across a to scale version of the sign in PDF. Let them know the depth, fret cut etc.. and they supply the modules, all the gubbins, transformer etc.. they also supply a little plot drawing to show you where the LEDS should be. They are bright enough. Oldest one up is about 4 years, so can’t comment on lifespan, but they are rated for 10 + I believe.

    Photo attached is on our vehicle bay floor, lights still on, checking all works.

    Thanks Graham and Chris, we use Perspex so will also get in touch with them as that may be a great help for us as we get started.

    Thanks guys.

    Vink does a good range of LEDs. I “think” they are by Sloan.

    We import our quality LEDs for our own usage in built up letters.
