Exposure Uplighting

Post by Karl »

Needed some lights in the shed. Pondered about solar panels, batteries and LED lights then took the easier option. Made some brackets that screw to the shed and then the exposure triangle clamp just drops in. Creates a really nice soft light.

Neat idea.

No risk of overheating?

I did think about this but being in the shed it isn't particularly warm and exposure sell the beacon diffusers for roadside repairs/camp use so I don't think they're too concerned. It stands off from the wall to maximise air circulation. It's also ran on the lowest setting in that environment. But I'll report back if the shed burns down. :|

Exposure lights have internal temp regulation / protection, so if the shed burns down the light will be ok 👍

Exposure lights for shed uplighters - that is properly posh :-bd
Drop a line to Guardian, they are bound to want to do a feature on this. "My uplighters are hand made in the UK" :grin:

I Was disappointed the charger wasn't included :sad:

Snap-on thoughtfully made it versatile,
USB input/ charge port :-bd
a bit overkill for a tent light. :lol:
