Very grilled factory high bay light
Added 2025-01-31 03:18:57 +0000 UTCThis was a valiant attempt at creating an LED equivalent to a high pressure sodium or mercury vapour high-bay factory light. But the combination of dirt, bugs, heat and humidity resulted in a very grim internal failure.

2025-01-31 23:12:58 +0000 UTCI see those now, but the fan was in the base, and there doesn't appear to be anywhere to vent/draw in any air in the base where the fan is located.
