Not sure what to do with these...

If the face is 3 to 3.5 inches from the LED modules what would be an ideal spacing? Every 3-4 inches?

To some extent, it depends on the brightness of the LED's. In channel letters, we would normally space the strokes of LED's about 5" apart. So with it being closer to the face, yes, I think spacing them 3" to 4" apart would do the trick. Your best bet is to lay the LED's in there and just see what works before permanently attaching. I would definitely add diffuser vinyl to the back of the face as well.

Thank you for the help again, Moze. I wish I had a small fraction of the knowledge that you and Gino possess about these kinds of things that are new for us.

You bet, glad to help.

And you're not alone in the knowledge department. Every day I'm in this business I feel like I know less and less. There are so many facets, techniques and nuances to learn, it can get overwhelming.

My other suggestion is you could get some grow lights and raise some weed for some real money. My idea on how to set them up.

I like how no one has acknowledged your suggestion. I don't partake in these kinds of recreational activities, but my entrepreneurial side is soooo interested in learning how to cultivate pot. I really wish I had these cabinets and some seeds!

Well you'd better throw a few 600 watt metal halides and high pressure sodiums on top of that setup or you might be out of business fast. Those cabinets won't benefit you much more than raising your electric bill unless you plan on using them for seedlings and clones.

By the way...I've got four of these cabinets for sale. Interested?

John, I think your scanner works more often throughout the day than you do.

MDI products are well made and work so the reason I suggested a more opaque acrylic is that these were made so that light could pass thru paper posters so I would assume the plastic is very translucent. by using a more translucent vinyl instead of paper, the more opaque acrylic will balance it back out. you could also try putting down a layer of white translucent vinyl and then do a print on more of it so it is more like a poster. Gino asked why the suggestion and that's why I posted that.
