Poor Man's Track Lighting

Step 6 Case closed

Cut the other fly swatter mesh to a size that will cover the open end of the junction box. Cut a hole in the center of this mesh, large enough to accommodate for the dial of the dimmer switch.

(Before you close the case, you may want to consider popping out the steel cutout on the bottom of the box)

Place the plastic mesh atop the dimmer switch and then fasten the case shut with the screws. You can place zip ties around the case to make it a little more secure.

I like the idea. Just a couple suggestions. You could buy the regular cover for the dimmer switch. It's designed to cover the junction box perfectly ( well with a little overlap actually). The cost should be the same, or less, than that of the flyswatter, but you would have a cleaner look. You could also cut off all the plugs from the lights and the extension cord and bind them together in series. You wouldn't need the power bar, and you'd have a cleaner finish, but the lights would not be usable for anything else.

Might be better to bind them in parallel in case if one bulb goes out otherwise all will go out.
