2X4w conversion, lit with clear cover
An impulse purchase of this tiny 8w LED bulkhead prompted what is probably my most tedious and smallest conversion to date. As soon as I saw it for sale at a car boot, I knew what I was gonna convert it to, so bought and immediately began to change it over to its new lamp type. the LED driver was dead, so I destroyed it all (felt so good btw) and after loads of measuring and careful drilling and cutting, the light now features two 4w tubes.

The whole conversion only just fits on the tray, but in the end it was all worth it. I also have an older matching bulkhead for 9w PL, sporting a clear patterned cover rather than the opal one. I decided PL is rather boring in comparison to two 4w tubes, so I swapped them over to show off the lights whole new appearance. Its easily become my most favourite conversion of all time, and after the gear trays been painted white, should look like a factory original setup.

When lit with the clear cover, the tubes are proudly on display. I personally prefer this cover over the opal one, you don't see 4w tubes in bulkheads of any sort so I feel it right to show them off in this manner.

Needs to go above a low doorframe. I can picture it there.
