So, I wanted a light on the outside of the back doors, that was low power and quite bright, and also I quite like those bulkhead lights.
I'm sure Willow will have something to say about that...
Anyway I looked at the 12V available stuff and they were all super expensive - designed for boats or caravans... so I made my own...
Start with a GU5.3 NR16 bulb (12V, 1W, 0.1A, £1.30), part of a milk carton (Organic Waitrose Duchy of Cornwall WFT is that doing in my house?), and the 240V 60W bulkhead fitting (£4, Amazon)
Hot glue the light fitting in place:
Put the diffuser/milk carton over it
And voila! 😎
