Noel,

    I don't really know but I think it could be worked out. The LEDs are
    in strips that could be attached to strips of wood or whatever. There
    are also transformers but then there are those with halogens too, if
    I remember correctly. I don't know if the LED strips are particularly
    vulnerable to handling--I didn't actually work with them as the
    Cyberlux company ended up working directly with the cabinet guys who
    were building the cases for me. Cyberlux seems to be interested in
    developing their product for this kind of thing so they might be
    willing to help you get this together. They are more expensive than
    other lights but at a show you don't have so many cases to deal with
    so that might not be too prohibitive. The fact that they don't get
    hot is really wonderful. With the halogens we had a couple of
    instances when we accidentally allowed a chain to touch one of the
    halogens and that created an instant arc--a bright flash and melted
    chain link--more excitement than I'm usually looking for at set up
    time. The light is really white and beautiful. There are other LED
    options that can be used in overhead lighting and I'm investigating
    those now for outside the cases... 

Yours,
Janet
