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

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:

Yep I agree I give it 10 /10 but the dog only gives it 2/10 for some reason
