My New Work Light

[Erik Sine]

Put together a makeshift work light using some AXLE9 XB that we sell here on the SS. My Home Depot Halogens are elsewhere at the moment so what a better way to make some use of some left over Axiom LEDs, a transformer can lid and a tri-pod I picked up along with an old Axiom Power supply that has 40,000 hours from the Great White Hope Testing.

I manually set the Axiom LED Power Supply to operate the AXLE9 XB modules at 14.6 volts (1.6 watts per module) instead of 12 volts @ .5 watts per module shifting the brightness to be on par with a T8 Lamp or a 13mm Tri-phosphor lamp operating at 60ma.

I just used 12 AXLE 9 modules

I even put a few on the back in case I have the lamp near a wall to to give me some additional halo lighting or direct light depending on the use

Damn these suckers are BRIGHT!!! A lot of light for just 12 modules

and of course just 32 watts

The upside to this over the regular halogens as hot of a summer we're having, no great direct heat on me where I'll be in the crawls space and I won't have to worry about them accidentally falling over.

Maybe in the near future i'll spend some time and perfect the lamp with adjustable hinges and prettier background but for now with something I had to slap together last minute it works!!!

Axioms AXLE9 Modules, $2.00 each x 15 = $30

Axiom LED Power Supply $32

Transformer can lid = Free

Tri-pod $12

Total = $74

Not bad at all, only downside was you have to crawl under that I-Beam you see to your left, so you're belly down everytime and and hot and sticky as it was yesterday your sweat drenched shirt collects everything from the ground.

That is exactly what I used it for. It was a tear out and re-installation (Re-brand) of a large national high end furniture retail store.
