Improved LED Bars
I got this idea from viewing pages on DIY Angel-Eyes. I noticed how the plastic tube they were using glowed brighter and how they made small natches in the plastic to refract the light.
Items Needed:
1 Vibrance Replacement rod $2 @ home depot
1 LEDs Make sure you use clear lens LEDs.
1 Resistor (either 330 ohm or 450 ohm)
Wire
Aluminium Foil
Bic Pen cap
Hot Glue Gun
Electrical Tape
Step 1: Cut the bar to the desired length
Step 2: Cut 1 cm notches into the bar about 2 cm apart
Step 3: Clean out dust from the notches
Step 4: Wrap one end in foil and tape
Step 5: Wire up your clear lens LED and 330 ohm or 450 resistor
Step 6: Cut the cap down to fit the end of the bar
Step 6: Glue the LED in place and wrap the cap end with tape.
Step 7: Stick the cap holding the LED to the end of the bar. You can either tape the cap on or use a hot glue gun to glue the cap on.
Step 8: Test out your new and improved LED bar. Notice how much brighter it is than the original LED bar and how much easier it is to make.
