Re: pic: cathode light assembly

At first outs was extremely dim, after about 3 minutes it got brighter, then I walked down to the wood shop to get some tools, and when i got back about 10-15 minutes later, it was very bright. I believe that the lights just need to worm up..

Our box took about an hour to make and about 30 minutes to wire. I wired it up to one of our 12v batteries and used a breaker panel from 2 years ago and a 20amp fuse to power it.

I was just wondering if anyone else used the correct offset for the lights from the diffuser panel?

Also, ours was plenty bright with just wood, has anyone compared a wood box to the official boxes to see how the light compares?
