HowTo: A low cost lighting sequencer (Pt 1)  (Roger Otis)



Step 8 : Lower Lighting Support

 
The lower lighting support is a piece of plywood 4 feet in diameter. Areas were cut out to leave 4 spokes to make the assembly lighter. Braces were added as shown to screw the lower support to the pole. Holes were drilled around the perimeter of the lower support at 18 degree intervals. The lower support was fastened to the pole about 18 inches from the bottom of the pole. A support made of 1/4" plywood is used at the approximate vertical center of the tree for additional support of the lighting supports. Adjust the diameter for the location. The lighting strips rest against this support but are not fastened to it. I fastened it in place with a small metal angle. The lower and middle supports are painted black.
