Added Some Light to the PCNC1100 Enclosure

[smokediver576]

Can you say, "let there be LIGHT"!!!! BTW - the globes are impact resistant - from Rockler Tool




Will be posting more on my Instagram (coolcncstuff_) once I get time. Have done a new coolant upgrade that I've not seen done before. But first I have to seal the inside of the new enclosure.

Thats awesome
Can never have enough light!
I'm curious what frequency are they, current draw and cost ea??
To date the brightest/ most lumens I've found (that fit without mods) are the old style "squiggly" 5K daylight 100 watt equivalent cfl's.
They draw about 22 watts which is not great but way better than incandesants.
100 watt 5K led's are almost as bright, run cooler and draw only 14 watts.

There is a box picture there. 50 Watts power - 4275 lumens - 4,000 Kelvin - LED Big Bulbs | Rockler Woodworking and Hardware - each bulb is equal to (4) 75 watt light bulbs.

Drawback - does require some reworking to make work on the enclosure (remove the original shroud, use the lexan shields to make the new tops, make the standoffs and reinstall.

The pictures do not do it justice on how freakin bright that thing is. You almost need to wear a hat just to cut down on the glare from above.

I replaced 90% of the lighting in my house, shop even out door lighting with led. Power cost is high around here. The lights I used in shop at first were very harsh to work under, the shadows can be distracting. Then I got use to that light level and now I want more .
I had 1200 watts of 4ft flor. tube lights replaced with 120 watts of led. Made the shop easy to cool most of the summer, but it warms up slower in winter. I save about 25-45$ a month on power now. I spent about 1000$ so r.o.i. will take a while.

This was on cnbc they were talking about bit coin mining and the power the mining computers use. Anyway I live in an area that is near the $0.21 mark and apparently it would not pay to mine coins around here .

I just got my mining setup done. But i'm on solar thats already paid for itself

Here is another really bright light. It is 100 Watt, 10,000 lumen. I picked one up yesterday at Menards for $29.99 and all I can say is it is really bright.

Just an update for folks. I would recommend only doing the front left and right bulbs. It's damn near blinding with just that. I don't even turn on the other three.
