[Shop-talk] blast cabinet light upgrade/improvements badly needed

[Mark Andy]

Howdy,

Needing to have the shop dark is my clue that its long past time to change
the protective film on my blast cabinet...

If I were going to DIY a light setup these days, I'll look into those LED
strips.  A row of those in the top corners of the cabinet would work pretty
great I'd guess.
