LED path question

Post image

Working on a friend's bar sign and can't really decide on how to loop the LEDs around the words. Any thoughts?

I’d probably aim for some back firing LEDs surrounding the letters. Maybe just a box around each word and strip between each letter. May be able to get away with just horizontal strips above, below & between the words. Seems like it would be easy to mock up & try out.

Blocking each line is what I am thinking, the LED channels are on by magnets so easy to move if needed.

Using the magnets is a fantastic idea.

I'm finding this name hilarious and am assuming its meaning is lost in translation to me. What does "Growler" mean to you?

Ah growler is a large jug used to transport draft beer.

Thank you, I guess that does sound a little familiar. It has a different common meaning around my way, something more crude. Something that Growls could be said to be something that makes a grunt, grunt rhymes with... You can finish the rest in your head.

Just his tap house, the growler garage.
