Default How to build a lighting setup in 65 minutes or less
11:45pm, Sunday night
First the consultation. Apparently it was important to discuss it near the sump


fun with powertools:

Positioning the important bits:

Proper measuring is important:

Building is thirsty work:

Getting the lights on:

Wiring fun:

Almost done!:

Finishing touches:

Et voila! Done at 12:50am!:


Amazing what you can do with a couple of 2x4s eh?

Let there be light!

I guess putting cooling fans on that would be overkill, eh?
