Sorry for the delay in posting in the thread I must have missed it. After I read about the homemade snoot. I have an idea that may work as a magnifier when I can find it. That is, one of those reversing panels you stick to your rear window it could be used at the front of the box to spread the light.
Now all I have to do is turn the garage upside down.
find some old wire coat hangers, some material for the sides and plenty of sticky tape and glue.
