[QUOTE="Mark Skyrme, post: 125305, member: 2528"] X32 Console LED Lighting For the past 18 months I've had all sorts of LED lights to illuminate my large X32 console. 12v ones, 5v USB ones in series, then 5v x 3 in parallel - powered from the router! They've all done the trick, but I've never been happy with something that looks the part and gives an even spread. The one disadvantage of the X32 console is the single 12v out which means limited light coverage. Anyway, I recently came up with a simple cost effective solution which others may find useful all for under £20 (you'll need to google currency conversion!). It also looks pretty good - well I think so!. I've attached a few photos but basically the construction consists of...... some 20mm black conduit, 4 20mm 90 degree elbows, 2 20mm conduit clips, 2 20mm couplers, some cable, a 4 pin xlr plug and a length of 12v LED strip cut into three. The clips are screwed into the up-stand of the dogleg and the rest push fit together. You will see in the photos that the main lighting 'bar' which the led strip is stuck to is split into three with a couple of 20mm couplers. That way I can rotate the centre bar to illuminate a script. It's really bright and will dim down to 80 percent which has a good low level light output. There is a height adjustment on the whole thing by sliding the pipe up and down the clips. When not is use the bar folds (because it is all push fit) and drops into the dogleg for transporting.
