New stairwell lights for The Lost Highway Arcade...
I keep trying to add new things to my arcade that pertain to the theme, "The Lost Highway Arcade".
Tonite I just finished up a small project. I put some old construction hazard lights(lenses) in the stairwell leading down into the arcade. They are about 7.5 inches in diameter.
They didn't fit well at first, so I trimmed off the rounded base on one side of each lens with a cutoff wheel and a grinder. Then I cut a relief on each side of the outlet cover to accomodate the plastic anchors that hold the screws on each side to keep each lens tight to the wall. This way, when a bulb burns out I can just unscrew them without any damage to the sheetrock.
The old light covers I had were just mini plastic lampshade looking things. After a decade, it was time for those to go.
I plan on replacing all of the white tiles on the stairwell with black ones, then get some yellow reflective tape to simulate highway lines when walking down the stairs. Should be pretty cool when I'm done....
