Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics Custom Indiglow power supply w/red LED's

I know it has only been 7 hours since his first post but I am really anxious to do this. Come back and give us the info

WOW! Thanks guys! I wasn't really expecting people to be so interested in this.

I'll get the schematic posted as soon as possible. My problem is that I don't have Visio currently installed on my PC and I'm not quite sure where it is. Also, whe I do find it, I've got to re-teach myself. It's probably been a good two years since I've had to draw anything up. I'll try my best to have it up in a week.

As for the LED's, They are Kingbright X-Bright 604-L7113SECH Red LEDs. I ordered them from Mouser for $0.82 each. The catalog page is right here.

I had to cut the rounded end of the LED off to get a wide enough viewing angle. I'll have to post some pics.

Actually, I'll post some pics of everything. Give me a few days. I'm not sure what or where work has me this week.

Later,
Ben

Amarv,
I also got a second set from Dom (actually two). But they both had the same Epicenter inverter as my original set. I looked everywhere but couldn't find anything that would let me continously vary the frequency. Who made the one that came with yours? Do you have a model number?

ZetecNinja,
As for Red, I think that the actual Indiglow material has to be made for red. I don't think that you can get a blue/green indiglow to put out red.

I was searching around and was only able to find these supplies/info. I got fed up and just made my own.

BTW, 600Hz is Green and 1kHz is Bluish Green.

HTH,

I want some red indiglos

Just out of curiousity, is this going to be very complicated? I am up for a challenge, dont get me wrong, just not alot of time on my hands. How many LEDs do I need to purchase? OR will I even need the LED if I have the SVT gauges....my needles are already red.

No. I am gonna post the pic next Monday

Red Indiglo + red illuminated needles

Ummm... please please please get a schematic up of what you did.
