My entry to the scratch built contest.

yup :slight_smile: barely :slight_smile:

More photos added to case postā€¦ worked on it a bit more before work this afternoon :slight_smile: nearly ready for connecting stuff inside and seeing how it looks onā€¦

yay :slight_smile: I should be finished in a few more daysā€¦ unless I find Iā€™m missing something else! YAY.

I think you win the most complex build award! Wow, I am impressed with your skill level. Beam shots out yet?

Nice build, canā€™t wait for the finished product.

complex? not really :slight_smile: some of the others seem more complex to me. :slight_smile:

closest I have to a beam shot are the videos in the third post I thinkā€¦

once I get everything connected Iā€™ll see if I can take a beam shotā€¦

thanks :slight_smile:

okay, warm white tube all wired and ready to connect, finishing the cool white tube tonight. more stuff goes in this one. so more to do :slight_smile: pondering how I want to attach them together. for now I might use ziptiesā€¦ as the hose clamps I wanted to use are too shortā€¦ gotta get 2 small ones to make em just a bit longer :slight_smile:
then may have to lengthen the power wire as wellā€¦ eventually I might use a hobby lipo pack. but for now. external 4500mah 12 volt gel cell :slight_smile:

They make super long zip ties for hvac ducting.

I was gonna suggest those HVAC zip ties, you can get a bag of 10 for <$2 at harbor freight.

next time Iā€™m at harbor freight Iā€™ll get some.

posted finished videos and some photosā€¦ its more a flooder than throwerā€¦ so its good for lighting up a close areaā€¦ not really long distancesā€¦

Its my browser foult or videos cant display they show ā€œprivate ā€ apart from that nice work :bigsmile:

try again. I didnt have them set to the right permissions :slight_smile:

Yay, it works!

yup. its not as good as your light :slight_smile: but it worksā€¦ I should have bought a 100 watt led and a driverā€¦ maybe Iā€™ll make another one with a 100 watt led and driver in itā€¦

this one is good for ceiling bounce during a power outage. :slight_smile:

Nice videos. Love the looks of the light in the second video! Well done!

thanks sir :slight_smile:

Well done firehopper. I hope you dont. Nice effort on the finish and thanks for the vids. I hope your light never has to get used in an emergency.

thank you :slight_smile: i hope not too. but I know the power grid in this area. a good thunderstorm/windstorm and its almost 100% likely to fail. sometimes for as much as a weekā€¦ :frowning:

bump :>
