my custom halo backplate in red CF.

[GA Devil]

probably could just a light pipe. they come in different sizes. its what i use in the back of my frames. You can get them from digikey or mouser

Im just using acrylic for now. It works okay. The Halo LED is not that bright already. I went outside in the light and could still see it although it wasnt bright. I cupped my hand and did it, and I can see it okay. Not much different than the stock LED cover.

thanks for the help guys, and the nice comments.

You guys can see a red one in person at IAO, I'll have ojne on my black to red fade Halo v35

a good thing that you could use for the light hole is an acrylic rod from tapplastics.com Just FYI when you cut the rod it will be hazy on the ends, take a torch and slightly melt the end piece, it will clear it right back up. Just select the right size rod, and then super glue it into the whole. Its a nice simple fiberoptic style piece for the CF

Spartan, I sent that one to you today. I am still going to be looking locally for the other kinds of LED covers from mouser electronics locally. There is one not far from my house. I also found a source for rubber on/off buttons. When I get the LED cover source and start getting these made, I will start making them in other colors. I will also mail you one of the LED covers when I find something better than the acrylic that I used. For now the acrylic works. It transmits light okay, and it keeps paint out of the halo and getting on your board, but that is my last touch I would like to have on these plates.

I only have the other 2 for lohman made, and they are curing right now.

If all goes well, I will start making more. For now Im done. I will wait until I have plenty made and post up a FS thread in the misc forum.

I appreciate all the suggestions and help you guys have given me. Thanks. :)

hey thanks GA devil for recommending Mouser electronics. I found exactly what I needed and they are about 10 minutes from my house. Too bad they dont do will call pickups though. I have to wait it out and pay for shipping.

I now have Snaptight LED mounts for the backplates. And I found a source for the Rubber on/off buttons too. Im going to check w/ mouser first though since they are close because the other place for the buttons was UPS shipping only and was 10 bucks shipping. Wow. I hope mouser has them.

Thanks guys. I will be posting up pics, and if all goes well, I should have other colors.

Thanks

where did you get the white halo shell?

hey bro, sorry I didnt see that question. They are reloader B shells. I bought them from my shop around here. They had all the colors. White, yellow, diamond, red, maroon, smoke, green, etc. Pretty much all the colors available, they had them. I just like the white. .

make sure im number one on the blue cf ones :)

[zackzel]

chalk me up for one of the blue ones also if you decide to do that color

[yakitori]

I just contacted the vendor about the other colors. Im seeing what all he offers.

I would like to have

Red
Yellow
blue
black
reg. carbon fiber
silver - thats right. I wasnt aware of this one. Im asking about it though. Silver would be piimp.

Also, I should have my LED covers soon and I will be able to find out if it is the right size and style. They website said they are visible from any angle, and that they increase brightness by 12-15%. We will see about that though. The board LED is so far away from the backplate and thats why they arent bright enough to begin w/.

Ill put a thread in the dealers forum, or Misc. equipment.

Ill try not to forget ya. :)

Here is the finished product.

Thanks
