Looking for LED 7-segment cover plate

[BartE]

Hi i'm busy with a larger 7 segment RED LED clock display (like these) and i want to put this in a box and i like to put this segment behind a dark red plastic cover. The stuff once standard to be used for clock radios. But i can not find a supplier.

Does anybody know a supplier for these covers? The segment is 12 by 5 centimeter

Thx

I'm using the side of an esd bag as cover for my bedside clock radio. It is a very hackish solution but it works.

@BartE I believe what you are looking for is called bezel - check this website.

As for cover you could modify general pvc electric box or have one printed.

@mfalkvidd thx for the tip i use the a eds bag with a semi transparent red foil

@niccodemi the bezel shop you suggested does not ship bezel large enough and for the box i did use this box http://www.ebay.com/itm/201180688204

This is the end result of my MySensor based clock radio
(Unfortunately finished to late for the contest)

I did found it i my box with electronic parts i once got a number of these switches of a friend of mine.

BTW the clock radio has a led strip connected emulating a Wakeup light, shows the out door temperature on request, since it is MYS connected the alarm can be triggered via my HA controller and the most important feature it switches on my coffee machine upon wake up time.

I will post a detailed description in the comming days,
