- 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

Hello, what did you cover it after painting? oil? any special?
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.
MUITO, mais muito trabalho, porém o resultado é fantástico!!! Parabéns.
Good video, Brett! I think the sign is a nice addition to your space.
Awesome tutorial and sweet sign!!
Thank you!
always great videos
nice job...not sure about the distressing thing, but you made a nice video. Cheers!
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.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Cool, would suggest painting & sealing box before assembly, Usually we paint white inside when making light boxes as well. Nice project.
Great video man!
thanks!
Super sick I’m about to
Make one
Nice job bro😍
Cool sign.
Thanks!
What grit sand paper did you use for the plastic glass?
Nice👍watching from Philippines 😍
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?
What did you put the letters on? Is that plastic?
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".
He's cracked the code haha
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.
I started with Woodglut plans.
