Global Scale Modeller

I found that with the Bench Vent 300S spray shield installed the lighting around the model being sprayed was insufficient (for my eyes anyway), so my solution was to purchase 2 x V-TAC 10W Slim LED Flood Lights from CPC (just £7.13 each) and proceeded with the following modification.






I simply cut out two holes in the top of the spray shield...





... and used some self adhesive trunking as a fixing point for the lamps and for wire containment.





Now the entire area inside the spray shield is perfectly illuminated







I also found another up-side in doing this. With the addition of some plasticard, it doubles up as a great photo booth.

Very cool light mod

How hot do those lights get ??

Nice improvement. I'll have to watch for some of these LED floodlights.

They are LED lamps, so they don't get hot at all (very important, hot lamps might cause the paint to dry before it hits the model and would probably melt the Bench Vent spray shield too).

Nice. I may get a pair of those just for overhead bench lighting.

Great work there, super modification
Were they pre-wired or did you do some yourself????
Great light, relatively cheap, safe with low heat output and double use spray/photo booth ....ALL AWESOME!!!

LED's now are really amazing....I have a new LED flashlight that just blows me away on the bright setting
I cannot find anything like those in Canada so far

They were pre-wired with approx 10" tails, so all I had to do was connect them together with block

Great idea.As soon as I have re arranged my work area for the spry booth I will add this mod.

would love to see that mod , but images wont load...don't even seem to be active.

That's a really neat solution - nice work

That is a nice mod and thank you for sharing it !

I like this solution and may "borrow" it

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Not sure why the pictures won't load for you, but I also posted this on the ISM Facebook page so try HERE

Great idea young sir, who's a clever old Hector then, but how dose one clamp it to a paint brush

I watched a video on wiring these babies up to a plug
Bit of a doofy video, but shows what is what inside those units off eBay and the differences with Europe/Asia and North America wire colours
I would not solder the wires together btw like the kid did, better use wire nuts IMHO

I could load those Ok, but still won't load from ISM page.
Looks great and a very neat idea with the led's.

I found another video that is a bit of a warning for lights from eBay...these are EXACTLY the ones I was considering
