I acquired even more lighting, these are 20w halogen examination lamps, presumably being replaced for LEDs, loads of them being chucked with nothing wrong with them. I'm sure you could just swap the bulbs for LED.

Picture taken with the overhead lights off to show the spot they throw. I've got a drill and a mill either side of the bench, the lamps can swing round to light them which is probably how they'll mainly get used.
I do a lot of led upgrades these days, sometimes it's easier to swap the whole fitting rather than the lamp

They're GU4 bulbs, don't think they're hard to come by (Unlike the mercury halide bulb I broke the other day
).

I'm pretty sure ours are the same.They're GU4 bulbs, don't think they're hard to come by (Unlike the mercury halide bulb I broke the other day
There's two types, depending on where the connectors slide in.
Bung me a PM, with a photo, and I'll see what I can do.
12 - 24 volt.
We have hundreds...
Ahh fellow Tom Scott enjoyer, was just about to link that

Not as nice as @Barking Mat 's work, also far from being art and without any nipples - today fresh from the laser cutter for the Arboga to get around the proprietary tool holders with homemade stuff:
Designed on the cheapest CAD programme and emailed to the laser company around the corner I trust ...
First raw, straight out of the machine, still warm .....
.... after five minutes with wire brush and finger grinder .....
... and after using 1200 grit wet sandpaper for two and a half hours while watching snooker.
It works without the last step and snooker, but I wanted to have a set of them in shiny and it's Crucible time.

Nice, what software did you use for the dxf files ?

What was I using ?
Emachine rings a bell, I can't remember.
Allowed you to produce a file, then wanted money for a dxf file.
Thankfully @Fraserb helped me out.
That works for you and it's free.
Must investigate.
Many thanks.
Easy to use ?

I swear a lot when I use it ....
.... but I also only use it once in a blue moon and I've always gotten there in the end
- so: the tool is much more powerful than I've used it so far and it's hard to blame the developers that I've never gained any routine at it.
It exports into a lot of formats and no, it doesn't ask for money before doing so
It's still much easier than the simplest of the really professional instruments out there.
Shouldn't cost anything by now either ....
Ask me if I may be of any help.

An old strip of lorry curtain siding with the rollers still on. Rusty but they will come up clean in some citric. I have some uses for these for sure. Anyone know what channel section they run in? I tried Unistrut but it was too small.

Yes it was emachineshop you used for the drawing but the newer version you need to pay to be able to convert to dxf.
