project yard lighting

Gator · March 31, 2010, 09:48:26 AM

my old nosecone was totally fooked so what better way to get some lighting outside the garage

just need to get the lights fitted and wired, it will have side dipped and main on 3 switches and i may add a remote control to operate it from the house

will have it back off when it gets warmer and give it a nice paint job

That's well cool G Man, are you going to use headlights, sealed beam units or similar for maximum effect

hadnt decided yet Marti am open to suggestions on that one, i do have all the original light parts, am a bit worried about damp getting in there though so an alternative might be wise

am also thinking motion sensor behind the grills

That's why I suggested sealed beam units like they use on Mini's etc

The nose cone lighting idea is 9/10

but covering in random stuff isn't

Less is more

Gator · April 08, 2010, 02:34:37 PM

nope i like random

more is more no less

Sorry.. I didn't read the whole thing

Although I think it would be cool to mount an old nose-cone and grill on your garage roof and use it for yard lighting
