egh, the cheapest pre-discontinued price i could find online was $195usd. was white first release? because the other colors seem to vary widely in price.

I have a standard black bookshelf with plain acrylic display case.

Should I tape up some LED strips on the backboard or just buy these?



Strips will be cheaper. Case will not necessarily be cleaner because I still have to find a way for the USB to plug into the wall. Probably brighter though because it's directed onto the model instead of coming off the back. The adjustable light posts doesn't look very clean though?
are those spotlights led or halogen?
