OUR 5 GALLON BUCKET LIGHT



I want to share our ingenious invention that we cannot live without when camping. It is our 5 gallon bucket light.We put this together and then the bucket is handy for carrying the cords etc...check it out. Danny made the wood brackets out of 1x2s and they can be strapped to a tree or a pole with a bungee cord or strap and no damage to trees.He put a hook on the end. The inside is a photographers light minus the shield and it clamps to the bucket handle, run the extension cord over to the power and it lights up the whole area. By the way we are using a compact fluorecent bulb not very high watts. We usually try to hang our light as far away as possible to draw the bugs to the light and then they are trapped down in the bucket...and that is the end of the 5 gallon bucket light story...
