Spcace Bucket A19 LED fixture

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

Four LED bulb fixture. This was designed to go on top of a space bucket so that the lights are completely external. This has the advantages of decreasing heat in the bucket as well as allowing for more growing space in the bucket. It can be mounted with four screws and nuts or with zip-ties and paracord as I have done. The outer dimensions are 122mmx122mm and the mounting holes are 105mm apart from their centers. Each hole has a diameter of 5mm. Print at 0.3 layer height, 4 walls, and 20% infill. Use matte black or another dark filament to reduce light leaks. The bulbs used here are Feit A19 LED Grow bulbs with the plastic bulb removed so that the LED panel sits flush on the bottom of the fixture. It may take a bit of strength to get the bulbs into position but that is on purpose. I hope you find this useful and feel free to use this as inspiration for your own design :)
Note: do not use my wiring as an example for how you should wire your lights. What I have done is not safe and should not be replicated. I have wired it in this manner for prototyping purposes only. Always cover all exposed wires and live surfaces. Make sure your wires are secure and not easily removed. I will be fixing my wiring to be safe now that I have a final design however i will not be updating the pictures to reflect that change for a while. I am not responsible if you harm yourself or your pets or anyone else or burned down your house because you wired your lights improperly. You were warned.
