*Light Enclosure for Lowe's Utilitech Canless LED Recessed Lighting Kit - Item #: 1500761 *https://www.lowes.com/pd/Utilitech-Canless-Color-Choice-Integrated-LED-5-in-or-6-in-65-Watt-EQ-White-Round-Dimmable-Canless-Recessed-DownLight/1001771784
These LED Lights have variable color capability ranging from 2700K - 6500K, (2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K, 6500K) changeable at will via a switch on the power box. Each light is up to 850 Lumens, and dimmer compatible. The lights themselves are edgelit, with a pre-built in diffusion layer. This means the light source is not direct, but softer on the eyes for use with streaming.
I made two of these, and wired them to individual dimmer switches so the brightness can be adjusted on each one to achieve optimal lighting. Wiring I leave in your hands, and am not responsible for any injury or damage to person or property arising from your use of these.
I designed and built the enclosure to keep everything tight, but you will require additional hardware listed below:
- Two 5/16x 3/4 Knobs (Locks the light in the appropriate position
- Two 5/16" Nuts (Captive area provided to hold nuts for knobs)
- Two 5/16" Rubber Washers (Creates tension to help lock down the light to the yoke)
- Two M3x8mm screws (Holds the power box on the back
- Two M3 Nuts (Captive area provided to hold nuts)
- 1/2" Electrical Conduit (for height - this can be made custom to the height that you need)
- Six Square 2 Gang Electrical Cover plate (Ballast in the base to prevent tipping)
- Four #10 3/4" Screws and Nuts (To secure the ballast in base)
- Associated Electrical Cords, Plugs, Dimmers, etc. - To your liking.
Printing Notes: Printed Back Cover and Base with Supports, other parts, only as needed.
Printed in PLA as the lights do not generate nearly enough heat to become an issue, plus I provided plenty of venting.
Yoke requires extra perimeters and higher infill for strength.Expect to use most of 1Kg of Filament to print a set of 2.
