DIY Rugged Portable Strip Light

We have had our share of DIY strip lights over the years, but I feel that we never got the right mixture of stability, great light and parts availability.

One was too cardbordy, another with rare rail and a third was a bit of a dare. I think I now finally found the build I like most.

David from Go Light Your World came up with a simple build based on White Vinyl Gutter Downspout and some 3M reflective tape.

The entire construction is held in place with a piece of ruler attaching to an off the shelf swivel. If you want to see how to build one yourself, head over to David’s Light Saber post.
