Spotlight Battens

Back in the mid 1980's I designed and built some Spotlight Battens from Steel Trunking and mounted PAR38 Reflector Spots on them. Sadly I no longer have them and don't have any photos of them.

 

Move forward 30 years and I resurrected the idea but with a modern twist. I decided to use 50w GU10 Dichroic Floodlamps. Physically smaller, less power consumption but still just as effective.

 

 The photos below show the units under construction.
