So I crept out to the workshop and finished this one off at last. Mounted the PSU on DIN rail clips, pulled the cables through and fixed up the light tube. A very great improvement in illumination. Only thing I'd do differently were I to repeat the exercise would be to spirally wrap the self adhesive SMD led strips round the 6mm core like a Barbers Pole rather than have them in supposedly straight lines, as in fact they wandered all over the place and look wonky. Spiral wrapping would still fit inside the 16mm bore 20mm o/d polycarbonate tubing, and the lighting would be the same. Just slightly better aesthetically. |
