It's nice enough that I think you'd be able to market them to order.

I plan to put a LED strip light over a taig lathe. I just gotta clear
off some work space (and not get too distracted--new lathe to play with,
you know) and actually built the support for it.

If you get the style where you can clip the strip every 3rd LED, all it
takes to light the other segment is a bit of wire, solder, and a 6-12V
power supply. (6V will be quite a bit dimmer than 12V, but sometimes you
only need a little light.)

Astraweb.com and $10 solves that problem very nicely for a very
long time.

At least it did for me.

Actually, their most recently flier (April 2014) is also very
informative about led lighting and all the options that LV supplies.

FWIW I bought the setup with remote dimmers. All works well and with
out any got'chas. Well one little hiccup with the dimmers getting out
of sinc. I bought paired alike dimmers for easier under counter lighting.

I just made a sign using LED's. A few will light up a pretty
large piece of acrylic. Picture posted in the binaries.

Thanks. Yes, homebuilt. Doesn't work as well as I would like but
it can do some amazing things nevertheless.

For those that don't have access to binaries it's the top
picture located at http://www.roanokewx.com/cnc.htm

There are also a couple of other CNC things I've been playing
with on the same page.

Once upon a time I was working on a how-not-to-do a CNC page.
It's floating around somewhere on my web server. I'll see if I
can find some time to work on it.

Any chance of some pictures and details of the CNA setup you used to
