I need to make a weather tight panel mount led. preferably for a luxeon type emitter, but 5mm will work. by weather tight panel mount I mean it needs to be reasonably sealed against rain / wind / bugs and pass through a panel, approx 1/8" thick.
Radio shack sells a DC/AC powered incandescent light in red, green, yellow, blue where the bulb is sealed in a plastic lens, and it has a threaded shaft that comes down. The assembly is held on to a panel by a plastic nut. They're nearly $5 each and incandescent. I was hoping to repurpose something a bit cheaper.
Any ideas?
