Full Version: Tip from a newbe poster
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.

Props to you for making a unique light out of a film tube
However, I' think I'll stick to my safer store - bought 500W floodlight that cost $15
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
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

5% ..no problem for cutting thumb
Thanks for the tip i will give that a try
these are some of the lamps i use but find then a bit bright for my old eyes how cold is it there (vampire @ Mar 8 2005, 10:04 AM) Thanks for the tip i will give it a try. how cold is it there [*]265080[/*] -7 F which is -14 C
hahah i like the tint tube light.
That is a cool fabrication... let's market it!
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!
that is a pretty decent idea.....
yeah the tint tube's cool

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.
