A bright Idea

A very important component of a sign is it's lighting, and far too often it's the least thought about aspect.
I this case we need to light this from above so I purchased some LED spot lights and actually wired them up temporarly so I could hold them in front of the sign, in the shop with the shop lights out so I could see exactly how far from he sign the lights needed to be.

Picture
The verdict was for a 5' x 4' sign the lights needed to be 3'6"
away. ( the lights on the existing sign I am replacing are 12" away not good!)
So I got out the conduit bender an fashioned up the bent arms that would support the new lights.and some other features.

Picture
On the back of the lights I am adding a little bling.
I'm making some beer Tap handles that will stand up above the lights. with a little branding going on at the same time.
Here you can see the steel that I am sandwiching into the Tap handles for strenght.

      I Owe the ability to take this journey to; My Mom
    (for she bred in me a drive and creativity required for this type of trip) My Incredible Wife and Children for their support, and to the world of creative people that inspire me everyday.
