For those of you who have completed the sign kit, Where in the box did you mount the LED strip?

I wrapped mine around the inside up at the front so it reflects off the back and out the front, they are very bright

I wrapped them around the sides, top, front. Everywhere except the back.

I just wrapped mine around the four sides.

It reflects enough that there was no need to put it on the front.

I was going for an indirect lighting effect, so mine are wrapped top, sides, and bottom near the front of the box so it is harder to get a direct line of sight to an individual LED. I also made sure the interior was gloss white to tone down the reflectiveness a bit. However, I've seen a couple online with shiny interior and it doesn't seem to matter that much. I suspect you could cover the back panel and it would still look good, though it would make removing the back difficult.

I wrapped them like others around the sides / top / bottom. I put them near the back and had enough length for about 3 passes.
