[simpits-tech] Backlit panels

[Richard Amos]

 well, I can see your concerns, how ever if the panels are made properly
there shouldn't be a shadow. as far as the electronics go. on the second
concern the only thing I can say is that most of the simspits that are
built, are out of wood. but so are our houses and we really don't think
about putting them in our walls. from the pictures I saw from one of the
earlier posts with the rope light the lighting wasn't consistent the
flouresent tray was a thought and with the heat concern and the lighting of
simulated panels (not real components) just a thought.  Richard
