Project Information
Back in 2018, I designed and made a stained glass window which is a scale model of Fairbury's old city hall. It was a challenge to figure out how to do the lettering and the clock hands!! It turned out nice, but I am out of outside window glass area to display it.
Also a few years ago, I figured out how to LED light a Bluebird panel that is on display at the Connection Center in Chatsworth. So, why not LED light up the Old City Hall stained glass panel so I can hang it on any wall?
I made a wood box to hold the stained glass panel, then wrapped 2 turns of LED strip lighting with 300 LED lights around the inside of the box…....which is painted white to reflect the light.
I don't trust the sticky tape side of the LED strip to last for years and years, so I added special plastic clips with screws to retain the LED strips in their correct location.
I was nervous whether I would have enough LED light or not, but it turned out perfect today
See my woodworking web site for more details on how I designed and built this project.
Thanks
