My first attempt in making my own home studio lighting kit for background and key lighting
A visit to the local hardware shop and I was amazed with the selection of items they had there and picked up some chrome rods cut to 1.8meters, some steel faceplates, bolts and bar clips
Marked the center for the bolts
Aligned for drilling
Couldnt get a perfect center but doesnt matter
The final clips are ready
Next is the lighting fixture
A few holes for the cable tie
Rubber mountings to keep the bolt away from the wiring
Place the holder on top of the lamp holder
Secured with cable ties
And the clip stays on the bar .. success
Now for the wiring
Some cuts on the lamp holder to route the cables and finally installing the bar holder clips on to the wired lamp
Slide the lamps on the rod and aligning them straight
Tightened the clips
Capping the ends of the rod for a clean finish
And ready for its first test run
Success .. 500watt lights for my home studio .. now to get the second and key lights completed the same way and some potrait shots .. Great DIY project for under $100
Stay tune for the next posting
