<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 374186, member: 4230&quot;]Ok, so here is the story ....</p><p><br /></p><p>I have spent a liot of time the last few months getting all my world notes scanned and posted to my site. Well i am out of notes, and lack the funds to buy more, for now <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So i am on to scanning all the coins i have. But thats the catch! Scannign coins just dont look as good. So i am moving on to try my hand at photographing coins. My last attempt was a miserable failure! One of the things i learned was Diffused lighting.. and lots of it. So, to help with that i am building a box - and i need a bit of help</p><p><br /></p><p>The box i am building is 16x16 inches and 4 inches deep. I got three lightbulbs in a triangular pattern. I also have a swicth, so as to be able to turn off or on the lights without havign to unplug the box. I will post pictures once is is complete. The problem i am having is with the wiring. I am almost completely unsure about how to wire it. I am using 14-2 bromex wire... pretty standard wire. But starting at the plug, what process do i use to wire everything?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my thought ... i built the plug using 14-2 wire, and bought a cap with a ground. That part was easy. Now from there, the wire goes into the box to the 1st terminal on the switch. The black wire connects to the switch (but what do the white and ground connect to?). From there i have a wire where the black wire connects from the 2nd terminal on the switch (again, what do i do witht he white and ground wires?) to an electrical box inside the light box. In this electrical box, the wires connecting to all three of the lightbulbs come together. Now with the wire that comes from the switch, i connect the black to the black of the 3 wires in 1 &#039;clump&#039; using a wire twist thingy (sorry, dont know the name). Then i do the same with the white, and bundle them all together, and then do the same to the ground - or do i ground all the wires to the metal electrical box?</p><p><br /></p><p>Once the wiring is done, i have plexiglass that i will coat with a Velum type paper. I am hoping the paper is translucent enough to diffusse the light but allow alot of the light in. </p><p><br /></p><p>That is my box ... so far <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>if anyone knows electrical that can help my sort out the wiring.. i would appreciate it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
