LED Tubes

at 8:16 pm. Filed under DIY Hacks, Electronic Hacks

Looking for another LED project? Have a look at this one that makes some tubes shine.

“I’ve had a thing for tubes (aka valves) since I was a kid. They made me thing of mini futuristic alien cities under a dome. I got some on ebay and mounted them on a plinth to make some mysterious object. Then I thought “Wouldn’t it be cool if they GLOWED?”… The LEDs shine up through the holes in the project box and make the tubes glow.”

    Like many (most?) projects listed here there is not necessarily a purpose for it. Same goes for this project, all if does is light some old tubes using modern LEDs. The effect is very nice though!

    when I was 10 I built an alien city from old tv tubes! Powered it off an old car battery. I though I was the only nut-ball that thought of them in those terms.

    thanks.
