Recently there was a promotion selling 9W LED light for a buck each so I bought 2 dozen 5000K and a dozen 2700K. I have a bunch of vanity fixtures I bought a few years ago and plant to make a nice little veg light big enough to cover one of my RubberMaid tub DWC units with. Or start seedlings etc.
The sockets on the fixtures are 12cm/4¾" on center. Is that a decent distance?
I just put the parts on the floor and if that looks good I'll attach them to a couple pieces of aluminum flat bar where I drew the black lines and put screws for hanging at the ends of the long ones where I put the black dots.
Another quick question. What's the best way to remove the globes off these Luminus bulbs. I'm hoping a heat gun will soften the joint and I can just pull them off. I'll screw a porcelain light socket to my work bench to hold the bulb in place, heat up the joint and pull the globe off. Yay or nay?
