Possum Cam – additional night lighting

Came up with the idea to increase the lighting by making an IR LED spotlight that will sit on top of the camera ice cream container weather housing.

Went through my CCTV stuff and found a few of these lenses with IR lighting.

Helping a friend with oven repairs

Vulcan Everhot 'Sahara' Fan forced Electric wall oven – oven not working.
