[meteorite-list] AD:Brenham LED Lighted Display Case

[Tim Heitz]

Hello List,

I built an LED lighted display case for the Brenham Slice I got from Steve 
Arnold.

It plugs into 110vac outlet , I have it plugged into an X10 timer that turns 
it on 1/2 hour after sunset
and turns off at 12 midnight everyday, it's eye candy on the wall.

The unit puts out very low heat and the LEDs, should have a lifespan of 
100,000 hours.

If someone is interested in making their slice lighted, please let me know.


Cheers,
Tim Heitz
