I made a camping tips post and spoke of this bucket light, well today i made it and figured some might like to see the photos and how easy it is.

1st you need a bucket, a drop light cord and a yellow buy light.  As you can see I took off the light cover, one screw and it pops right off.



Next you need to cut a hole in the bucket, make it just big enough to get the plug through.



Thats it now just find a branch to throw the cord over, pull on the cord to get the light as high as you want it, tie it off and plug it in.



When it's time to pack up just take it back down, pull the cord back out of the bucket up to the plug and than coil the cord and light back into the bucket to carry out of the woods or hang in the shed or whatever but this way everything stays together for the next time you need it.


Hope some of you give this a try, it's a cool light and helps brighten up the night without drawing in a bunch of bugs.
