I wonder how this would look displaying some old bottles. I like the bottom lighting. Pretty sweet that it can have many color settings too. What do you think?

Status: offline 		lol that's funny... You see them quite often in alot of bars actually. I just wondered how it would look with antique bottles on it. Probably too much of a modern look, and your right it's probably not good quality.

I'm working on some ideas for having a backlit display case, i've did a little searching but nothing that made me think "wow, i'd really like to have that." Do you guys backlight your collection? A friend of mine had one made but it cost some serious jack... looks great tho and he has alot of colored sodas and quart ales that really pop the color out. At the moment mine are just on shelves. It looks pretty good now but i'm looking to possibly do it a little different.

Status: offline 		Tim,...I'm in full agreement. Nothing looks quite as cool as a backlit display case (Barring mother natures own sunlit window!) It does take some ingenuity to fashion one cheaply,...The 'menuboard' milk white plex is vr. expensive...Even with my in in the glass biz I haven't yet found any extra funds to do one...But It is on my list of somedays. I'd have to say pass on the ebay one though...

Status: offline 		Hey Joe, A buddy of mine used clear plex, which is a lot cheaper, and stretched out an old ironed bed sheet over it on the flourescent lite side, It worked quite well, and if it ever yellows, just replace it with another bed sheet. the case was four feet by six and 10 inches deep, plus six for the light box part, cost 200.00 dollars with a one sixteenth inch thick glass door (he got the glass from a salvage joint...............

Sorry Tim,...I cannot take credit for that bottle case, it's a pic I found by googling "lit bottle display"...These shelves are the closest thing I have to a lit display right now,...

The first one is a section of a 'Barristers" bookcase, that Mr. Fred found in a house cleanout and gifted to me...I revamped it with a light and a piece of glass that I painted white on one side for a top....

Mainly it caught my eye because it was bottom lit, I talked to a guy who has his base lit like that and he was saying he thought it really brought the color out good so it got me wondering.

That's great Joe! That glass you put in has a really nice look to it

Status: offline 		I think it would look great with the white light, that said you could build it a lot cheaper then buyin that one though.

My bud scored 5 4x8 foot fluorescent sign boxes from a demo job and I'm hoping to get one, the problem is the opaque plexiglass is very expensive. The bed sheet idea is brilliant!

Andy, I love the idea for the bed sheet over the light, in my town it would probably be a fire code. I wasn't allowed to put anything near those lights when I was working...They would make us take down ANYTHING near those lights, but you have me thinking. I know you might be thinking how will they know? I have firemen in here all the time for parties. Take out parties....or maybe you call them send out parties.
