if buy it in, how do you sorce the best place to get it?

i dont want to say no to this job, but seems like theres no profit in doing it

always make them, I don't do many, maybe one or two a year, but they are always fun to build.

better than being stuck behind a monitor all day.

I used to make them, and they were a lot more profitable then. Now they have to be UL listed so I buy.

depending on your location you have to have a Master Electrician on staff or be one to make/sell illuminated boxes.

same here. what are the regs where you are? does it need a listing? if so, no to making your own if you aren't a listed shop, yes it they could care less where you are

if you have to ask, buy one. There are plenty of wholesalers out there
