u/unthused

I’m on the east coast US, and thai is my absolute favorite cuisine by far, but my options are pretty much limited to a few americanized restaurants in the area. Even common ingredients (holy basil, lemongrass, makrut, galangal) are almost impossible to find so I can only make half assed substitutes cooking at home, or use premixed curry pastes.

I’d even settle for frozen meals if that were a thing, but at best any grocers I’ve been to might have a mediocre pad thai if I’m lucky. My local Lidl briefly had frozen tom yum soup and I probably had one or two daily until they ran out.

Preface - I handle estimating and art files for the wide format department at a printing company, so we are not a full sign company per se. We have a flatbed cutter for acrylic/ACM/etc, but can't do fabrication or channel letters and that sort of thing. Our installs are mostly limited to standoffs or stud mounted, nothing involving wiring or electrical.

Recently quoted a flat cut metal logo install for a new cafe, which is no problem, but now they are asking about including some kind of backlighting. I see that I can get various LED modules from MBS, but zero experience working with these and what it might entail. I imagine they do not want obvious wires going between words or running to an outlet.
