I tried something like this but do you realize just how hard it is to find all wire hangers anymore? I gave up after exhausting every avenue to find one several years ago.

@GhostOfACPast Yes everything is plastic now. You could use single strand 12 or 10 gauge copper wire too.

what is the yellow stubs you put on the cable wire? where did you go to get everything?

@Hyperactivexp Yellow things are Wire Nuts. Just twist on to hold wires together.
Use the proper size too.
Go to the hardware store and get all but the tin can.

@Hyperactivexp Yellow things= wire nuts. Lowes or most any hardware store.

Nice! Golden reinvented the original lights that studio Gaffers use to make. They took Big coffee cans and put car head lamps in them. Which is where the name "cans" comes from, as in Par can. Good stuff! (I'm a former TV producer/Director)

@AllanRasco Thanks. when I look at modern cans thats what I see, a metal can with a light socket wired into it.
