I have started a new method for lighting up the interior of the main elevator building for grain elevators. This method makes the lighting go from hours to minutes. I used to position individual lights up and down the building then tie all the wires together. It was time consuming not to mention fairly difficult for the customer to change out lights. Now I am gluing (in this case strips of LED) lights to a square rod that attaches to the roof. The rod press fits nicely into a round tube that is glued to the roof. To change the lights simply remove the roof and t=you are there....... This is the second structure. The first structure had individual incandescent bulbs. I drill holes into the square rod to attach them and ran the wires through the rod.

I still need to insert the windows. They will have vellum 'glass panes' which should diffuse the lighting and make it more even.

If anyone has other ideas I am always looking for better ways.
