Made some progress on the pole and light for the new siding. The pole is 3/8" dowel and the light is from Evan Designs. I was going to scratch build something with a LED but it was a spectacular failure. I had a few of these lights so I decided to go with that instead.
Then I needed to figure out how to mount the light to the pole. I started with some small balsa pieces, also went down in flames. I had some 3/8" styrene tubing which slid perfectly over the dowel and holds the fixture nice and tight. I put a few drops of gorilla glue on the styrene and the arm of the light to hold it in place.
Painting and wiring are next.
