Hey folks,
Wanted to ping you guys to see what your experiences have been with =
backlighing.  I'm looking at a few different methods of backlighting my =
panels and I was wondering what others have done that works and doesn't =
work.  Right now I'm thinking about using white x-mas lights and =
arranging as needed behind the panels, but I've also been warned that =
they throw off quite a bit of heat.
=20
Any suggestions out there?

thx.
Kevin
