Press work light ( w/pictures)

[problemchild]

I am not the original person to do this. I saw another poster make up a light like this which gave me the idea.

So I was at my local electronic store (JK elec) and I see a strip LED that is REALLY bright. It had simple plug on connectors for the end and was 12v. Having multiple spare 12v power cubes at my house I bought the led strip.

I cut the strip in half and connected the two side by side. I used a degreaser on the inside wall of my press and stuck the LED strip on the wall facing away from my eyes. Plugging in the 12v cube and turning on the power was a wow moment. The whole inside of the press is lit up now. Now I can see all the details much better.

I just got the press back from repair and forgot to mount it, thanks for the reminder.

You know all those black cubes that plug into the wall to power everything. On the back they list the power out and amp out voltage.

Ahah! Cool. I have one that has multi-volts available, that I got from Radio Shack. Used it to replace a dead mobile phone transformer. Great Idea!

Two strips is smart, I think they may dim over time. Looks
Like you could add a third row.

OH I GET IT! I was trying to figure out what those lil symbols were that were black yellow silver and was like, WTF are they looking at? So much for a picture being a thousand words. I am glad you said what you did. I would be trying to see things for a lot longer...

Oh, I don't know. I think this outfit has beaten them to it. I'll see your thirty and raise you ten.

I just bought the ceiling kit. Looks like that will fill a huge hole in my lighting setup and should reduce the chance of any short, or over fills.

What a great idea!!!!
