Hi All,

So i have been working on this project for a while and wanted to share with everyone. As a new homowner i needed to get lights in the back of the house. i decided it was the least expensive and most benificial to make my own. So far there are 2( out of 3) mounted high up on the house, and a different one mounted under the overhang by the patio area. Here is how i made them:
2x Top flood lights:
- 24 inch long 3inx3inx3in aluminum C-channel
- 15 Cree XT-E 4500k 80+cri R5 bin LED's
- Recom RACD60-1050/IP67 LED Driver
- strip of reflective metal stovepipe/furmace pipe similar to this: http://images.orgill.com/200x200/0553073.JPG
- Lexan clear cover
The 15 LED's are spaced out 1 inch apart, with the stovepipe having cutouts every 1 inch to go around the LED's. the stovepiope works as a reflector to help shoot the light
Patio light:
- 8 Foot u-Channel, 2inx 1in high
- 15 Cree XT-E 4500k 80+cri R5 bin LED's
- Recom RACD60-1050/IP67 LED Driver
- Lexan cover
For this the 15 LED's are evenly spaced along the 8foot piece and the light shoots up as the white soffit to diffuse the light.
Thoughts???
