Hi All,
I had an informal discussion with a local machine company about providing them covers led covers for their machine panels. They have some that protrude and some that are inset into the machinery. They want to cover them and have an indicator number beside them. My thought was to use either a two colored acrylic with a dark bottom and transparent top, engrave the dark away to allow the led to shine through. A issue is the lights are about a 1/2" apart and the fixture would have to prevent light bleed from one LED to another. So to the questions: 1. What recommendations would you have on material and 2. Does anyone know of sheet supplies of thick double sided tape? I am thinkinh the tape could be lasered to the LED size and prevent the light from passing through.
Thanks,
Bob Wilson
