Cool modified light for fuge

My old light


lets tear it apart !



its 28 inches...I need 25 inches...what to do? unscrew it...scoot it down..looks like I got room..Hmmmm??



we tape it and mark it...




cut the end off and about 3 inches...do a little epoxy job on it..



WA-LA 25 inch light for my fuge !! Shazamm!!




Put the cleaned old glass over fuge...still need to cut a couple inches off the glass...no biggie.



Lets turn it on...




Nice and clean...
not bad....now I have to get the fuge loaded...tomarrow is another day.

Hope you enjoyed my little poject.
