Build some PAR38 cans using coffee tins

I needed some light fittings to take a couple of blue PAR38s that I had lying around.

Here we use some coffee tins to protect the bulbs, as we don't need to worry about gels (they're already coloured) or lenses (they're already focussed as floods).

Materials Used:
- 2 coffee tins, sans coffee and lid.
- Several wood offcuts.
- 2 hinges I found years ago and thought would come in handy someday.
- 2 ES light fittings - you can get these from people who sell parts/components.
- 2 bits of wire, with plugs
- Length of slotted angle iron.
- 2 corner braces from an old shelving system.

Step 1 The coffee tin

Cut a hole in the coffee tin big enough to allow the light fitting to pass part of the way through.
