Build some PAR38 cans using coffee tins

Step 3The light fitting

The light fitting
This light fitting is an ES or Edison Screw fitting.  It is made of ceramic, and as such is designed to withstand high tempretures. The PAR38s can get warm during use, so this seemed like a good idea.

Line up the light fitting by holding the tin can over the wooden bracket (as it would be when assembled), then put the fitting through the hole you cut in step one, and mark the screw holes in the wood with a braddle or pencil.

Remember to attach the wires to the fitting before screwing the fitting to the bracket, as you can't get at the wire screw clamps when it is attached to the wood!
