I made these using, vinyl tubing, pvc end caps and 1157 LED bulbs.


I just soldered wires to each bulb and put them in the tube with colored stones. The long tube I made double bulb assemblies by soldering wires to the bulbs and joining them with 5/8 heater hose.

I have decided the glare was a little high. I found this shelf covering at walmart.

Cut sections and taped it on with clear packing tape. Really helps the glare and it looks like a lens of sorts. It does cut down the light a bit but they are so bright it doesnt really matter

I may need another solar panel just to keep up with all the lights  LOL  Too bad there is no more room. Maxed out at 800 watts !
