Over the weekend I got a chance to try out my next generation of portable - in the field solder station. This until late in the night soldering LED tape wiring in the 10' ceiling. Worked but many little changes to make, and big for it was the 1/4" LittleLight flex conduit plugged into the XLR jack was insufficient in flex to mount two lights at it’s head. It would stay there for some, but I often had to re-adjust.
I’m using a Juno “Track 12" wash light #TL103LED-4K- BL as the main wash light. Than a MR-11 Gimbal ring with MR-11 LED lamp for a spot. Removed the track light mounts and drilled out for 25/64" the mounting to 1/8 IP pipe. From there 1/4-18 NPT and 1/8-27 IPT are important tap and die sizes. Actual parts and techniques used are proprietary in invention of it (sorry).
As said, the dual lamp was too heavy for the 1/4" Little Light, but I think not too heavy for a single wash light. And in stepping up in size to mount two fixtures... something in the chapter of McMaster Car #50035a23 gets you in the range of flex conduit that will mount two fixtures as pictured. On the way to the second version of a solder station - this with third generation already in mind.
