Halogen Work Light Projector Mod V2.0

Step 3: Mounting the switch

Drill a hole in your projector where you have room for the switch, wire and nuts underneath.
On my projector about 2 inches from the bulb socket worked well.

Unscrew the red switch and mount it in the casing. (See picture)

It may still be possible but youll most likely have to find a way to fit the components in. I cant tell you where to mount equipment on every projector I would have to have the projector in front of me in order to help you.

I do like this mod very much but I have just a couple of questions. Why have 2 power cords coming out? Why not just wire the original power cord that powers the projector to also power the light that way when you shut the projector off the fans keep going for a few minutes to cool down the lamp?

Yes, you could clean it up very neatly. I just used two power cables to do the mod faster & easier. On my projector wiring into the power supply area would have been much more difficult.
