on my coach there are a number of control panels made out of the black plastic engraved and then have switches or guages etc.

i have one over the driver, as you enter the coach, over the microwave, and in the bedroom.

what newell used to give that glow to the labels is a limosine/aircraft neon strip that they taped to the back of the panel in a daisy chain affair.

they use high AC voltage at very low amps. so there is a special inverter required for them and there is one for each location.

the only reason i fooled with them was that i heard a high pitched squealing and it was driving me nuts. i traced it down to the inverter for the panel over the microwave. steve bare and russ white had already been down this path so had the sources for it.

i ordered 2 inverters and thought i would be good. after i replaced that one and stopped that noise, then i heard another one. it was the one behind the panel on the left as you enter the coach with the master switch etc on it. so i replaced that one and then heard the noise in the bedroom. so i had to order more.

the one under the drivers left arm console isnt making noise.

i also ordered a spare length of strip and color plastic.
