Title: Rapido Switch Stands

I though it would be a interesting project to light one up...
Well, I will say it's not for the soldering challenged, damn nano LEDs are crazy small, .02"x.039".
Rapido made the switch stand kits, which I guess were offered with a switch motor but they also sell them with no motor, they were never intended to be lit. It wouldn't take much to make them operate.

Wow! I can solder leads to the mini LED's but I'm afraid to even open the package containing the nano LED's. ;D That is really neat.

Very nice! I wonder what magnification lens I would need to work with those.

Although I love the idea, I wouldn't even consider doing it. I value my eye sight to much! ;D ;D ;D
