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

geeze you cant ask for much better of an area behind the wall to work

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.

Your own workbench! Nice. You doing a tear out?

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.

      Skyhook 100hd cable sizes

      By Elite Sign & Lighting · Posted

      It would be the cable appropriate to fit in the sheave size, measure what is on there currently. And 2.25 - 2.5 times longer than the fully extended boom length. You can probably find the least required number of wraps on the winch drum.

      Digital Signage is Revolutionizing Hospital Communication: 6 Big Advantages

      By wipathcommunications · Posted

      Hey everyone, I wanted to share some insights I recently explored about how digital signage is transforming communication within hospitals and healthcare environments. Whether it's patient experience, internal messaging, or emergency alerts — digital displays are making a huge impact. Here are 6 key benefits I discovered: ✅ 1. Reduced Perceived Wait Times Waiting in hospitals can be stressful. Digital signage helps by displaying health tips, entertainment, or wait time updates to ease patient anxiety and improve their experience. ✅ 2. Real-Time Emergency Alerts In urgent situations, hospitals can use digital screens to instantly broadcast important alerts or emergency codes across departments — faster and more effectively than overhead systems. ✅ 3. Improved Staff Communication From shift updates to meeting reminders, internal digital boards streamline communication and reduce confusion among staff, especially in larger facilities. ✅ 4. Wayfinding Made Easy Navigating hospitals can be confusing. Interactive digital maps and directional signs help visitors and patients get to their destination without constantly asking for help. ✅ 5. Promoting Health Campaigns Hospitals can use signage to promote wellness programs, flu shot campaigns, or COVID updates — all in a visually engaging way that captures attention. ✅ 6. Better Patient Engagement Screens in waiting areas or patient rooms can be used for educational videos, treatment FAQs, or even personalized messages — creating a more informed and connected patient experience. I wrote a full article diving deeper into each of these, if anyone wants to read more: https://www.wipath.com/top-6-advantages-of-using-digital-signs-in-hospitals/ Would love to hear your thoughts — are you seeing digital signage being used effectively in your hospitals or clinics? Cheers!
