Hello List,

I built an LED lighted display case for the Brenham Slice I got from Steve
Arnold.

It plugs into 110vac outlet , I have it plugged into an X10 timer that turns
it on 1/2 hour after sunset
and turns off at 12 midnight everyday, it's eye candy on the wall.

The unit puts out very low heat and the LEDs, should have a lifespan of
100,000 hours.

If someone is interested in making their slice lighted, please let me know.


Cheers,
Tim Heitz

> 183 gram Vaca Muerta full slice from the mass found on the Meteorite Men
> Chile episode. Also a couple part slices remaining from the small end
> piece
> I chopped up.

> 14.6 kg Muonionalusta whole specimen. Nice.

>
> 33.8 gram Ash Creek full slice.

> An assortment of Meteorite Magnets, small specimen cases, with specimens

> Also, not on Ebay yet, I have some full slices, up to 21 inches across,

> two sheets of Lexan and suspended in oil. Tim Heitz bought one of these
> from
> me and he devised an awesome LED backlighting system for his frame, where
> the frame can be hung on a wall and the whole apparatus lights up like a
> cosmic stain glassed window. Maybe Tim can offer some photos if anyone

>
>
> The Brenham slices can be sold with or without the frames, just ask for
> details.

> Lots of options. Enjoy.
