Absolutely beautiful Rich. I congratulate you on your workmanship.

My only suggestion is liberal use of a conformal coating on the boards, after masking off the leds themselves. Help prevent corrosion from the humidity  and salt air.

Thanks, I ordered up a silicone based spray on conformal coating.  If it arrives before I have to have these dropped off for shipping then I can get them coated.  If it does not, I will likely be out of luck as I don't think I can ship that to Fiji.  Rich

I was able to spray them down inside and out with a silicon based conformal coating.  I put pieces of electrical tape over the LED lenses during the process.  Rich
