Ok so I'm about to complete my room remodeling.
Here's what I want to do. I have my 2 guitars hanging on each side of my window. At night, you can't see them unless I turn on the light or turn on the bar sign. What I want to do is put a glow effect behind both of them.
Now, I have this key chain I used to test the effect. It's a single, super bright white LED. If I center it behind the guitar, it puts an outline of the guitar visible in pitch dark. It looks awesome.
Now where I'm stuck is I have no idea how to do this, or if it's even possible.
What I'm thinking is this:
Get 2 (Two) SBW LED's, drill and mount into the wall so it looks professional when I remove the guitars to play them.
Run the wires out of the wall near the floor and mount them to a switch. The switch will need to have a power supply. I was thinking of like a 9 volt, but I realized what a pain in the ass it would be to keep replacing the expensive battery it takes.
I also think some about a load EQ?
So what all needs to be done here? I know there are plenty of LED nuts on here, as well as some electricians. So I don't think it'll take much to learn how to do this. I hope it's possible because it looks so sweet...
Thanks already guys!
