I was wondering on how some of you installed the [power cells](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) lights to the pack. At the moment I’m not sure how I want to mount them. I mean I could hot glue it to the blue lens but it would look kinda tacky. Just fetching for some ideas. Thanks

The best method is to make a small bracket to mount the [Power Cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) lights to that is positioned directly behind the blue lens and attached to the [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard).

That sounds better then hot glue, Any idea what kind of bracket I would need. I am very new to all of this. Thanks much

It’ll depend a little on what the board for your [power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) lights look like.

If the lights are mounted on the face of a thin, strip-like board, then these methods are the most straightforward:

If however your lights are mounted to the edge of the board, a slightly different approach will be needed (and also prepared in order to avoid accidental arcing/short-circuiting if the mounting method is made of metal:

The two packs I’ve made use 3D printed shells. I designed a bracket that bolts to the shell that holds the [power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) lens and lights. I’ll post some pictures of it later today.
