Hmmm i see what your talking about be interesting to see how it works out if you put an eye bolt through the ducting on the top you could ziptie the power cord to ease the presure off the connection. How many watts of cfl are you going to run in there?

I say you drop them through so just the bulbs are beneath the reflector (i think like what you were drawing out) and then screw them into a 2x4 above that. just my .02

Instead of a 2x4 i could just bolt them to the ducting after dropping it through , what you think ?

Just a 2x4 will take up more room and make it heavier

ya, that might work. a 2x4 was just an example. it could be smaller and lighter, just something stiff for the sockets to stick on to. Bolting them straight to the ducting would probably work.

Shit was hell to do cuz i dont have tin snips ,

I had to use plain steal scissors , so the dame edges or jagged and sharp lol

I took off the ducting and just mounted the lights to a piece of wood

I fucked up with the ducting , the lights was way off center and shit , it was tilting back since it was un even

I know the wood is just so blah but its simpler lol

Hey man, if you're curious about an idea for a door I have a lil sunshield that rolls down with a towel over it in my cab (sunshield provides reflectiveness and MOST of the lightproofing, towel does the rest - and you dont see something "shiny" from in between the doors... its just black). Let me know if you need help with it, i have a few pics somewhere in my thread.

It's in a corner so you can hardly see it. It's better than a gaping hole that allows one to look directly into it. You have a better idea for a light trap?
