I have a large blast cabinet from TP tools, https://www.tptools.com/USA-976-Pro-Detailer-XH-Abrasive-Blast-Cabinet,882.html

I have 2 of the regular glass spotlights in it which dont work that well and I always had a hard time seeing what I was blasting so I finally upgraded it.
I bought a 150w LED flood lite from Amazon for $50

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0799BRV4N/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I cut a hole in the top of the cabinet right in the center and then ran a bead of silicone around it and laid down a piece of glass from another spotlight that I had that died, so I ripped the glass out of it to use here. After that I just set the new LED flood on top of the glass in the cabinet and plugged it into the factory switch that was on the Cabinet. Picture is before and after the new LED light, it is much brighter in person.

Much Much better!

Looks good. Just an FYI over time the glass for the light will become frosted from all the media hitting it.

In my HF blaster, I used a triple set of under cabinet LEDs that was about $15 at Amazon. Just stuck to the inside with double side tape. Working good so far, lots of light.
