My philosophy is that changing to an LED strip is the easy way to go. You can fix
the EL problems, but does it make sense?

Eric, you might well be right -- I was looking on ebay last night, and
you can buy a reel of SMD LEDs, about 5m overall, for about 20 or
so... Seems like pretty good value to me.
What's the best way to dim them though? I guess they're pretty bright
to start off with.

That's exactly what I did when I had the same issue. Those EL lights
aren't the quietest things. The LED's are quiet though.

Turbocad is a good way to go. I think it hooks to a CadCam package too for CNC.
A word on learning software--don't throw away the manual, but don't read it either.
Instead, start drawing something you want, and refer to the manual when you
need to.
When you've advanced (with some struggling) just a little way, you can sit down
with the manual and try each and every basic function on screen.
I have found it instructive for newcomers to invent every way to draw a circle.
Keep them as a collection on a separate drawing.
PS: I use DesignCad, but if they vanish, I'd use TurboCad. BRLCad looks neat, but
not for newcomers. If cost were not an issue, Solidworks might be what I'd
use.

I didn't mean surface mount leds, but LED ribbons or "flexstrips". Ebay has them
as well as Deal Extreme (my favorite).
There is a mistaken idea that LEDs need Pulse-Width-Modulation or Quantum Heisenberg
Compensators or some such....all untrue. Dimming them is just a matter of
changing the dc voltage to them. Any dimmer, even a resistor, zener or potentiometer
will do.

Cruising around on E-Bay I've seen dimmers for the led light strips and
have always thought I need to get them for the plane. Time will tell
