Blast Cabinet Lighting

Mine sucks. Any suggestions?

I wonder myself for the blast cabinet at work, it's berkeleying terrible.

LED's?

I'm thinking LEDs protected by Gorilla Glass (or synthetic sapphire if you can afford it) might be a good solution.

I use two LED puck lights stuck to the glass on outside of the cabinet. It works great an the sand doesn't destroy them.

My POS red box unit had a long floresant that worked for 2 min.... the only thing I had laying around was a outside house light with a thick white glass tear drop screw on globe 3 inch hole saw made a nice hole and globe fits through then screwed on the light end. uses regular 75w bulb and its bright enough.

In reply to Toyman01:

Are those the ones with four lights in a square pattern?

Mine has a window in the top w/ a 2' flourescent but the winter upgrade will replace it w/ a couple cheap Home Depot LED recessed can ligh inserts.

Got a linkey?

These, though mine are silver.

I actually bought them for the kitchen, but blast cabinet light died before I got them mounted. After seeing how well they worked, I bought another set for the kitchen. They cost more than I like to spend on that stuff, but they stay cool, they are bright, and they have less glare than the original florescent.

These have just one LED, but seem to be bright enough. The 4 LED lights should work too. The main thing is to get something flat that will sit on the glass and not reflect back in your eyes. Putting them outside the glass means every time you have to change the plastic glass liner, you get nice, bright, like new, lighting as well.
