Lighten Up.. - FloorCareMD - 09-17-2014
Installed L.E.D. lights on my Orbot. Picked it up at Lowes. Perfect fit. Really lights up the floor. (2 settings) Plugs into the extra female plug down by the motor. Mounted it with stainless bolts and locking nuts.

That's awesome!
RE: Lighten Up.. - JuddBowers - 09-19-2014
Sweet!!! Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow!!!
RE: Lighten Up.. - FloorCareMD - 09-19-2014
It takes a little pressure to get the light to snap in there but it does fit very well. Like it was designed for the orbot.
RE: Lighten Up.. - JuddBowers - 09-19-2014
I'm at Lowes now. Looking for them. Hopefully this is something every Lowes carries.
On my way home. Awesome idea. Thanks for posting!!!
RE: Lighten Up.. - FloorCareMD - 09-19-2014
I took mine out and applied some felt strips to the back of it to prevent any vibration noise...Works great!!
Glad to be of assistance
RE: Lighten Up.. - JuddBowers - 09-19-2014
Works great!
I need to learn to post pics.
Wow!!! That's waaaay too big!!!
RE: Lighten Up.. - FloorCareMD - 09-19-2014
Awesome. Amazing how it fits perfectly.. lowes will probably run out of these soon..
On your first photo, it looks like your orbot is smiling (top of motor).
RE: Lighten Up.. - JuddBowers - 09-19-2014
I used a bit of Velcro. Works like a dream.
RE: Lighten Up.. - lee@deepclean.us.com - 09-19-2014
Does the light seem to shake when in use because of the orbital motion?
RE: Lighten Up.. - JuddBowers - 09-20-2014
Probably a little. Not real noticeable if it does though. Mine is velcroed with a full length strip. Seems pretty durable to me.
RE: Lighten Up.. - FloorCareMD - 09-20-2014
I drilled two holes through the blue jug base and secured it with bolt/lock nuts. Zero vibration and noise.
RE: Lighten Up.. - Lounge Lizards - 09-20-2014
Great idea, wouldn't mind fitting a set to Big Yella.
BUT, apparently they don't have them at Lowes in Australia.
The sales people there were like wolves in sheep's clothing when I inquired about the lights.

The dang voltage difference would probably blow on mine anyways.
