TTC Subway Map Backlight
|
Well, I finally decided to make a backlight for the subway map I had in my room today. The frame is just some drop ceiling wall angles and some corner brackets to stand the stand the map off the wall.
The lights behind are two cheap Lithonia T5 strips and one Pioneer Lighting F8T5 strip in the far right. The lamps are Accupro /830 (not my choice came with the lights) and a Sylvania F8T5 /CW.
For comparison, here's how the real backlight fixtures look like.

I got the map panel directly from the TTC, they started selling them recently. It's close to 6' long so it's lit with a F21T5, F14T5 and F8T5.
