Like many I like to re use and recycle. Also before the MS got really bad I was an Electro Mechanical Industrial Maint Mech...So I rather know my way around stuff and whats safe and not safe.
I decided I needed a bit of plant "up lighting" to help the nice tight under canopy and yes they sell vertical lights for that of different types, and then I looked to My left and saw an just emptied I think it was 1000 count or so CD case you know the ones the Cd's come in that you burn music and movies on and I said hum as I looked back at the plant up lighting fixtures.
Step 1...So this is an easy project Me I'm thrifty so I went to the thrift store and picked up two good table lamps and tore them down...All you want is the socket and hardware...Total cost for the 2 ugly lamps was one dollar.
Step 2.... get two empty Cd stack cases and tug out the center rod.
Step 3....Use a dremel tool and cut out the top of the clear case.
Step4....Use a drill or dremel tool and drill holes in the black case bottom.
Step5...Make your bottom case hole bigger if needed and mount your lamp hardware...Then put in your bulb of choice I used 100watt daylight spectrum.
Step6...Wire into your hood or add a plug and sit back and enjoy the sexy under canopy glow...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhh Purdy
Step7...Sing Oh Christmas Tree "OR" KumBaYah your choice ...and know your plants are well light Above and Below ...For You are the Light God...and your plants will Love You so.
My that sounds like I'm a bit of a control freak...Laughing hard ...enjoy the project and have fun and save money as the up lights I looked at were 30 bucks a POP I saved 53 bucks on the pair...As total cost with bulbs was 7 bucks.
