sometimes a bit hard to see through dark tint on rear glass to cut, Not very busy today so made this out of the inner rool of film. I used two 12 volt 20 watt downlight bulbs and a cigar lighter femal socket and ten rivets.

Works great but might try it with 50 watt bulbs

Props to you for making a unique light out of a film tube Flaugh.gif thumb.gif


However, I' think I'll stick to my safer store - bought 500W floodlight that cost $15 orngbiggrin.gif

I also used a 200w flood light but needed to keep moving it around the rear deck so i could see it through the area of film i was cutting not with handy lamp just put it in place and plug it in
TintWizard
a tip on using the flood light ..set it on a stool or box in the backseat..that elevates it to be level with the back window..once you do that ..you never have to move the light around trust.gif

That is a cool fabrication... let's market it!
Mdog
would be nice to have something bright enough that you can plug into the cars cigarette outlet. i just noticed that said 12 volt.

I think that's totaly sweet! thumb.gif I think there may even be some potential to heat and bend one of those tubes, allowing it to fit the contour of the back window.
DSMTommy
that is a pretty decent idea.....

Devil with bad attitude
i just use a large white bed sheet and drape it across the rear deck and close the flanks of the sheet into the top of each rear door and shut it.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
