if you have 100 of them I think it'll be bright enough, dont you? i mean c'mon man it's 100 LEDs, that alot in my opinion.

its a deal, ill do one of them with UV leds, but what foward voltage do you think they use??

it looks like i can only get about 400mcd out of these things, and that is nothing at all.

Link to 5mm UV LEDs from lsdiodes.com

Might not be the exact same but close enough.

the ones i got only go up to about 400mcd and thats nothing, these are really made for that glow in the dark crap, but for an xbox i dont think this will turn out too well.

Only way to find out is to try a few light up behind the crystal case parts in the dark and see what it look like.

In my controller dongles or anywhere else, I use blue ones with at least a 5,000 mcd rating. You can get them off ebay for pretty cheap. I also have a few green 10,000 mcd installed and those like almost blind you for a second! haha But even my 5,000 mcd blue ones shine on the ceiling so they are pretty strong.

" and i just tryed it with +5v strait to the led. LOL " haha! Dude, thats quite a bit for those! Good luck!

i guess i could do blue leds, i also have green ones, but i dont want a halo look alike, so i guess i might do blue or UV just got to do some testing, but im gunna be gone to cali till sunday.

The colors up to you! But I think it would be awesome, if you "hid" some leds like either inside or under the case so you cant see the actual LED's just the glow from it on the ground. I think Red would be cool for a glowing effect.

They also sell flashing LED's that have two or 3 different colors built into one LED. You might want to check those out too.

i already did a red crystal xbox, it looked pretty good and i have seen the color changing ones, so it looks like im going with blue or UV.

Good luck!

do a UV cold cathode under the jewel...man that would glow...like a black light...

then do the led's thru the controller and thru the system in various spots (Too many looks like shit..keep it modest)
