[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Thanks for the link. I just checked it out on the Amazon Canada site and they are CAN$46.45. That's pre taxes and shipping. I only paid $40 for the case, so I think I'll shop around. They are nice lights though and I do like the remote option of them. So, that gives me something to look for.  |

And that case will be great to display those small "dust collectors".

| Found a way to hide the brand names of the watches that the display case was made for. Not the cleanest job in the world, but for now anyway, I kinda like the old worn out impression it gives. A couple of pieces of birch plywood and a few logos ironed on from the laser printer did the job. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| This place is pretty inexpensive and has a few ideas for lighting. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

| No room for a spot light where I have it now. However, I have thought maybe a small string of led lights at each shelf maybe? |

| Hi all! Managed to pick up a used display case for $40 a few months ago. Thought it would be a neat way to display some of my smaller items in my collection (dust collectors). It's on a lazy susan and rotates 360 degrees either way. Gonna go through some of my photos and see what I can come up with to cover up the watch brand at the top.
