A few people asked me where I bought the chevron light in my prop room. Its screen used item from Legends but I find this hard to believe since it looks really bad up close. I think it was either a concept, back-background, or possibly the inside of a chevron. After looking at this in detail, I think just about anyone can make one for probably less than 20 bucks. So in the event wants to duplicate this item, I've added details/pics below. Check out another chevron at the bottom.
The propmakers appeared to use acrylic for the frame and they used black tape and glue to hold it together. I think a better solution is to use wood instead to create nice smooth seams and skip the tape.
Actual chevron - note the acrylic inverted triangle in the middle sits atop the base acrylic. also the crappy paint job with lots of over-spray.
Inside -
Inside with data - the purple section is the top acrylic piece which sets on top of the acrylic base "V". Note, the depth of the box is is 2 5/8"
Corner shot showing support used
Taped corner
And finally, another chevron like item from the "Ark of Truth". Difficult to re-create easily but I may post an interest thread on this if my fabricator feels he can replicate the parts easily.
