hmm i had a bit of a look around, and i think i will stay with a more standard LED setup... which is easy enough to find from stores around here.

i will edit this post with pictures of roughly what i am going for. just need to figure out how to securely lock down the front edge of the tray and not get any vibration/rattle. then i can draw it up and get it all sorted...
im expected a build cost of maybe $700-800, and thats most likely pretty conservative.
