Ok, here is my “how to” on making a lab with a lighted floor. I got this idea a while back and just needed a push to get it going.
To start with, I needed a floor that would let light pass through it. I used ˝ inch plexi glass that I found in the trash. I placed it on cans of condensed milk so I could set the lights under it.
The problem is it was about 14 too wide. So I was working in a tight space while the lab was up. I first put down my lights (used shop light like you use working on cars) later I got 2 small florescent lights to brighten it up.
