I had plans to take the old lights, sandblast them back and repaint them with a new lighting module. I had lots of problems trying to get the paint off them, the sandblasting was working but had problems with the result. The place I was working replaced all the office lights with 27W LED lights and old ones were on the ground ready to go out the door. I saw the plastic diffuser and wanted to see if I could laser cut it. I took it home and ran a quick successful test, I can cut this plastic diffuser. Days later I had an idea where I will make my own garden light from the plastic diffuser. This design is simple and is made with 3 parts. The first part is the light diffuser, the second is the top cover and the last is the light stand. <strong>Light Diffuser</strong> The light diffuser is an old office fluorescent light diffuser and has been laser cut to shape. <strong>Top Cover</strong> The top cover is made from black 2mm acrylic and has been laser cut to shape. <strong>Light Stand</strong> The Light stand is simply made form a 16mm aluminum tube. This tube is used to hold the light and to hold the wire to the light. <h2>Parts Required</h2> <li>2 mm black acrylic for top</li> <li>3-4 mm plastic diffuser for lamp</li> <li>MR16 GU5.3 G4 Wire Connector Halogen LED Bulbs Holder Base Socket</li> <li>6mm M3 (qty: 12) for top</li> <li>10mm M3 (qty: 12) for lamp</li> <li>15mm M3 (qty: 2) for MR16 Socket</li> <li>All Files in this Thing</li> <h2>Note</h2> all holes in 3D printed parts are 2.5mm and require tapping for screws unless self tappers are used <h2>Keep up to date</h2> New Parts will be added, Keep up to date by following: <strong>Project page</strong> -> https://tinkersprojects.com/project/garden-lights/ <strong>YouTube channel</strong> -> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaKP_tvYR-g-a7-40U1djMg <strong>This Thing</strong> -> https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3860642 <strong>My Profile</strong> -> https://www.thingiverse.com/haybailes/about <strong>Twitter</strong> -> https://twitter.com/TinkersProjects <a href="https://twitter.com/TinkersProjects?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" ><img width="250" src="https://www.tinkersprojects.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Screen-Shot-2019-11-12-at-12.19.09-pm.png"></a> <a href="youtube.com/channel/UCaKP_tvYR-g-a7-40U1djMg" ><img width="200" src="https://www.tinkersprojects.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Screen-Shot-2019-11-12-at-12.19.09-pm-2.png"></a> <h2>See Other Projects</h2> Have a look at this and other projects that I have done: https://tinkersprojects.com/
