I ordered mine from.China (cheaper) along with a pen torch to light/charge them up. Arrived quickly and no issue and I had them installed on a bass by a Luthier for £30.

They work well and make a difference. Just make sure you get the right size as too big and they look gimmicky

Ah interesting, I’d tried a couple of search terms on aliexpress but hadn’t found any equivalents just yet - don’t suppose you still have a link to your ones please?

We use quite a bit of Luminlay . It is quite expensive (or has been to date).

We used the larger 5mm pipe version on this neck - hard to miss the dots !

I normally trim them down with a razor blade rather than file.. the material is fairly soft so cuts easily. And you can get very close is you are comfortable with the blade

I only ordered a small amount to try years ago and have had about 4-5 guitars worth out of it

I don't know about that @WezV .

When I was doing them , I had to use junior saw ! The inlay material seemed very hard to me and Stanley knife didn't do much apart from just cut in a bit and stopped . 
It felt dangerous to continue so used different tool as above . 
Finished it off with file and sandpaper .

From my experience , luminlays stay on bright only for about 10-15min . After that , they gradually loose their brightness . 
I've no experience on stage , but I believe with a decent lights from top every now and then they can recharge enough to let you see in dark .

Here's mine I did a while ago .
