AlfredBarnes 2 hours ago I was just about to make a retractable light setup for my workshop. I hadn't thought of automating/motorizing it.A simple pull reel was my goto, but that doesn't work in this application. Amazing work very smart and looks like a fun project.
alabastervlog 3 hours ago I was surprised at how short the table was, after the note up top about why they needed five lights because the table's so long. It looks way too big for the table, its proportions look like it belongs over a table 1.5-2 meters longer. draazon 3 hours ago That's probably down to the angle; the table is in fact over 3 metres long, and extendable. alabastervlog 2 hours ago Ah, OK, that makes more sense then.

chb 2 hours ago Where did you find these fixtures, OP? I see something similar offered by Feit, but not quite as elegant. draazon 2 hours ago The lamp-holders and braided flex are from https://www.lampspares.co.uk/, and the bulbs themselves are from Heal's (https://www.heals.com/lighting/bulbs-and-fittings.html).

Love the ambience they create, nice work!
