It occured to me while looking at LEDs for another purpose that the ready availability and low cost of "smart" LED lights, and especially black lights, would make for an easy and inexpensive way to add instrument lighting to an otherwise unlit panel of analog gauges. For example:

Anyone every mess around with black light for instrument lighting?
