Well.... It's been a while, as I often say! :palm: I bought a ballast gubbins for the tube light, and tested the two lights against each other. The 30 led light was brighter, no mistake! :thumbup: It needed a lampshade...... A pet feeding bowl. Mounted to my r/t, and cut a 2"(ish) hole, 1/4" offset from centre. Then proceeded to mill around, to part off at 5/8" long........ Added two little magnets, and it's positioned ok, I think....... Glued several layers of rubber to the rear of the light unit, and glued it securely into place..... I secured the transformer with double sided tape, and soldered it's feed wires to the e-stop switch..... Reminds me of "Close Encounters"........ Original, shop lighting...... Plus machine lamp........ Machine lamp, only....... That's another round tuit crossed off the list! :D David D |

Very cool David :zap: :nrocks: That there is a proper mad mod.... cut up a pet food bowl for a lampshade :headbang: Now I have possibly missed it due to my literature induced narcolepsy and want to view a few posts this morning (basically I skimmed this post and mostly viewed the pic's, cause it's nearly 3am and my eyes are heavy! :lol: ) Could you point me to the source for the LED part supplier? This looks like a very useful bit of kit :thumbup: Ralph. |
