Led Help .... Right Section?

[dwright27]

ok so im wanting to paint my port a pearlescent/nice gloss/metallic white with a few layers of clear, and green LED's throughout it.

what im wanting to know is if you guys think 50 is gonna be enough to do a 8" x 32" port?

nd do you think its gonna be bright enough to light everything up?

Pics would help bro.

Now if I'm correct, you want to put the LED's in the box shined into the port?

Also, You'd probably get a better glow effect if you were to find LED's that are closer to 360 degree shine. They wont be clear, but will be the opaque kind.

Or, what I've done MANY of times is just use a fine steel wool, and spin the LED in the steel wool to rough up the surface and break up the light better.

would like to mount them in the port like with the bulb in the port and the wires hidden behind the wood. basically a hole drilled big enough for the bulb and cover to go through and hot glue to seal it back up and hold it.
