I realized I wanted a niggerlight for my porch (one that doesn't work during the day, but only is active at night) aka a "dusk-to-dawn" light to deter criminals. I also wanted one light to illuminate two directions, so I had to move it from the old location, requiring some craftsmanship to build a mount for the light to project 45° from the corner (so both front porch and carport get illuminated).

3 pieces of wood cut, screws in & countersunk, first coat of stain (same fireside cherry as the plinth last week) (picinfinity.co)

2 coats of stain on (since it will be outside), and mounting hardware attached (picinfinity.co)

The classy fixture with photocell (picinfinity.co)

Mounted, bulb installed, & tested sat (picinfinity.co)

Came out nice. I know you wanted light but you can put one of those flame bulbs in it for a classy look.

I like your spool to. Mine just rotted out after being exposed to the weather for 11 years
