  • Hey folks, in this tutorial I go through the process of making a light up recording sign, also known as a warning light or on-air light. The first part covers a more advanced build while the ending of the video provides a much easier solution that doesn't require a lot of tools.
    Here's the USB LED light strip I used: a.co/dbhkxTD

    Great idea giving a second option at the end of the video!

    i like everything about the sign except for one thing. You glued the back on. What if something happens to the lights and you need to get to the lights in the box to repair or replace them? It looks like your only option is to cut off the back of the light. I think 4 or 6 screws to attach the back would be a better option. Other than that, I like the idea. A lot of options for the message: busy, entrance, exit, etc.

    Very nicely done and appreciate the extra idea at the end too. Cords and plugs are a thorn in my side in my shop, Small shop, not many outlets.

    Cool, would suggest painting & sealing box before assembly, Usually we paint white inside when making light boxes as well. Nice project.

    What grit sand paper did you use for the plastic glass?

    Love what you did here. I have been browsing around the internet for a day or two now trying to find Inspo for planning my led backlit sign build. I am looking to make mine weatherproof and to put it out in front of a store on a metal bracket. Do you think this design could be weather proofed with appropriate wood treatment (hella polyurethane), and sealed cracks with silicone? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

    what is the font called?

  • @starttofinishpodcasting3721

    What did you put the letters on? Is that plastic?

    • @Bretts_Builds
      @Bretts_Builds  Před 6 lety

      Yep it’s plexiglass but regular glass will work as well

    Anyone else think he wanted that red spray paint to go on smooth and stick.
    When it didn't he figured "What the hell, I will just say I wanted an aged or rustic look".

    don’t get why you cut the plexi the way you did, normal practice is to have the material you want to size on the fence side because it’s more accurate.
