A new version, but the story is the same...
This one was born out of pure frustration. The original marquee light
sockets and wiring in my cabinet were shot, so I needed a replacement.
Just as well, as the tubes weren't inexpensive nor especially easy to
find. That cheap fluorescent fixture at the home store seemed like a
great idea at the time. Sure it was pain to install; bulky plastic
case, fat 110v cord and plug needed to be fed around components in the
cabinet and a vacant spot on the power strip was required. But the
work was done and everything was fine....until a few months later when
the thing just died. I don't know why, maybe because I leave it on all
of the time or maybe due to the heat that builds up in that small area,
but nonetheless, it no longer worked. So I bought another and went
through the same tiresome steps of installing it. Just a few short
months later, the tube blew. Figuring this was the weak link, I
considered buying a quality tube. It would cost only a dollar less
than a new fixture with a tube included. But I bought it
anyway, hoping for the best...3 months later the second fixture started
blinking like it had gone mad and wouldn't stop until I finally
pulled the plug. Months passed. I could no longer endure the dead
stare of the dark marquee....something needed to be done.
Enter the NovaMatrix LINX™ LED Marquee Light.
 
Features: - Incredibly Bright - Each set of 6 "LINX" includes 18 intensely high output, wide-angle, "cool white" LEDs. More "LINX" can be added for even more brightness!
- Low Voltage - 12v operation means that the marquee light may be connected directly to your PC power supply for simple "auto-on" operation .
- Long Life - LEDs are rated at up to 100,000 hours of "on" time. That's up to 10 years longer than conventional lighting!
- Low Operating Costs
- Reduce your carbon footprint by 1/1500 and stave off the end of the
world by several milliseconds for every fluorescent you replace!*
- Small and Lightweight - Can be mounted in the smallest of marquee areas, or stretched out up to 36" long and arranged for optimal light coverage. Extra "LINX" can be purchased to provide just he right amount of brightness and coverage for any given area. Can be mounted just about anywhere (screws included for wood mounting) and on virtually any surface. Optimal distance from marquee is 6" to 14".
- No standoffs are necessary. Each "LINX" has it's own housing with integrated mounting tabs, and the LED's are fully protected from moisture and dust.
