Yes. Check out these switch panels I had made by a company that
specializes in custom flight simulator cockpits:

It's engraved acrylic. Available from
http://www.aircraftsimulators.com/f16.html at what I would guess is a lot
cheaper than from Cessna.
I'm going to be backlighting them with Luxeon 1W LEDs.

Has anyone done anything with "back lighting" a piece of engraving plastic
(the two layers stuff with white on bottom, and black on top)? My new
Cessna has LED back lighting for everything. Most are a raised plastic
piece with the white showing the light thru, however, what gave me the idea
for the engravers plastic was the callsign, it's just that plastic with an
LED backlight.
Pictures here.

I'll bet the other, non-engraved is just some sort of "reverse" silkscreen
on white or semi-see-thru plastic.
Hehe... Aint it interesting how we turned this into a panel discussion Smile

Dave,
Thanks for the pictures... Good stuff... I sent you a private email as well.
This is a place where I've found really good prices on bulk plastics.
Specifically on this page, Acrylic...sheets, colored...
