As festive seasons and joyous celebrations like carnivals, amusement park parties, weddings, and holidays fall upon us, we find ourselves fielding questions on creating personalized alphabet lights. A simple and fun project for those keen on crafting their own gleaming amusement park style mementos. Well, good news - we're armed with answers and eager to assist!
1.The first thing to do is decide what size Fairground cabochons you want to use for your Letter Lights. The options are either 45mm or 60mm diameter at their widest point.
2.Next, drill holes through the panel on which you want your Fairground Lights to sit. The panel must be 8mm or less in thickness. The hole size must be 20mm diameter for the 60mm (E14) cabochons or 16mm diameter for the 45mm (E10) cabochons.
3.Push the appropriate (E10 or E14) spike fitting through the hole from the rear and screw a cabochon onto the face, thus fixing both the cabochon and fitting firmly to your item.
4.With the back of your item facing you, lay a length of tri-rated cable along each of one side of each spike fitting and then do the same with a second length of cable along the other spike fittings. Screw the compression nuts onto each fitting, thus securing the cable down on the spike and making the connection.
5.Connect the end of each of those cables to the 24V output of the Transformer and then connect the 240V input cables to a plug.
6.Turn your Letters over, put 24V LEDs into the cabochons and screw on the cabochon lids.
7.Plug it in and hey presto, your Letter Lights are the brightest star in the show!
