I'll put up a web page of the whole project when it's casting lumens
on the worksurface. Shouldn't be long now. I'm expecting well over
10,000 lux of luminous intensity on the work surface at WOT.
(10,000 lux is the intensity of direct tropical mid-day sunlight.)

Do you need a mig welder to change the battery?

Mains powered, no battery to change. Line cord goes thru a grommet
in the back. Bottom plate attaches with four 6-32 screws into tapped
lugs welded into the inside corners of the box.
