      You can use glass. Its harder to engrave than acrylic and acrylic is clearer with less green tinge etc

      It depends on the power requirements of the led strip used. In general, these work best with a power supply adapter.

    Would y ou happen to know if it works with glass instead of acrylic? Thanks in advance.

    • @techydiy
      @techydiy  6 років тому

      +Carnes Mexicaltzingo Yes it does. See my latest video where I edge light a glass mirror. There is one problem with glass though, normal glass has iron oxide in it which gives it a green glow, you can see this if you look through the edge of most glass. If you use colour led strip then you can counteract this effect. Acrylic is optically clear and doesn't have the green problem.

    Hi, I have a problem with the light reaching all the way through the engraving. I am using the same size of acrylic sheet with the engraving centered on it. I have also already built the base. The light only reaches about 3-4 inches up the sheet and is very weak. If you have a solution I would be very grateful. Thanks. (The depth of the engraving is about 1mm)

    • @techydiy
      @techydiy  7 років тому +1

      Have you removed the protective sheets on both sides of the acrylic, this makes a huge difference.
      Try moving the position of the sheet on the leds, they should be centred, again it makes quite a difference.
