Power LEDs

...it had some sort of strip of blue white LEDs under
the edge of the glare shield.

So of course, I was wondering where one could find a few
feet of something similar without paying what Beech paid for it!!

About ten years back I saw a vendor at the shows who sold those strips. Not
cheap! Can't remember the name, but they also made custom cutout panel
covers IIRC.

Also, try a google for "electroluminescent strip", should find something in
the electrical hobbie arena.

Or, look about halfway down this link page for EL Products:

Tangent:
They (linking further to the chinese vendor), these guys make luminescent
dial faces! How COOL would that make your panel look???
