Hi Mike, It's a good idea and application - thanks for sharing. The point of adding a shield is a good one, more for keeping the lamp and the contacts clean -...

To join the thread; I have an LED battery powered light made for BBQ grill use. It casts a good bit of light at a point. Just right to light up the spot...
Mike, good idea! There's never enough light or its not in the right place or if there is enough light it comes with shadows. This idea looks like it'll take...
