I've set myself up as self employed renting stuff out for weddings.  I want to make some light up marquee letters (love, mr&mrs etc)

my first thought was to use low voltage led lamps and buy a power supply.  I can then get the supply tested to keep venues and insurers happy and that plugs into the low voltage stuff, everyone's happy.  The problem is that i can't find large led filament bulbs for a sensible price.  


if i was to use mains voltage bulbs, what testing or certification would it need?  do i need to do anything other than off to the local PAT testing place?

No I hadn't!  Can't believe I hadn't thought of that!  I shall go investigate now.  Thanks dude

Cabochons arrived and I couldn't wait to get them fitted and tried out.  They are perfect for what I need.  Thanks again matey  

Finished the first full set of them today



I've got orders for a few more sets from people wanting to buy them

Looks great.

If you ever need to make much smaller lights, you can buy loose "filament" of the sort that you see in the filament style LED bulbs.  

Only issue is they cant be cut to length. But they are available in different lengths and can be chained together. Excess can be painted black etc.
