My version of a DIY feeder light... That looks awesome, really well put together. One suggestion, though, would be to put a fuse on the positive side wire. Bouncing around in the truck or hogs messing with it, one of those wires gets pinched, and it'll go bad real, real fast. What is not shown is the foam on top and the sides to prevent that movement, but it is a good idea and I will add it next time I am out. The latest version I am building has a fuse, all the connections are soldered and I put pigtails on the power wires to allow use of a feeder battery also.

I really like this set up; I've been thinking about redoing my remote activated lights, and I may just have to copy some of your idea. With, of course, putting the Trademarked by Mass lettering in bold colors on the side. Where'd you get the ammo can? Local surplus shop near me closed down.

I just put the landscape spot lights around my feeder and I am pretty impressed. I can sit in my recliner at night and look at my feeder which is about 100 yards away.
