HOW I MAKE a WORKBENCH LIGHT

Hey everyone,
My name is Amey and I am back with another project,
Recently, I get two CFL light enclosure for really cheap with has 40 w CFL bulb in it (each), After taking look at it, the idea come in my mind that, I will use this as my work bench light, but as CFL draw more power as compare to LED lights, I decide to first convert it into LED, for that I use Combination of cold and warm LED strip which draw much less power as compare to CFL and its brighter than the CFL. So, I gather all the things required and start building it.
So, let’s make it…!!!!!!!!
Light Enclouser

I am having two light enclosure (as shown above) as I mentioned early, I am going to convert it into LED so for that I got Cold and Warm LED strip.
The reason behind using two different colure temperature LED strip is to create natural light as possible
For powering all the stuff, I am using the OLD computer ATX Power supply, but any 12 v 2 AMP power supply is sufficient for it as each light only draw 600MAH.
3D Design of Stands

After adding the led strip two Both enclosures, now its time for Designing the hanging stand for it, so let’s jump into it.
As my workbench is in corner, I have L shape desk, So I decided to mount light on above of each table
I replicate My hole workbench corner to give me accurate dimensions and preview of light and my workbench.
Process of Fabrication

ok,
After Measuring, Cutting, Grinding, Drilling, Welding
Now stand is ready to be mount
Final Result
