This project started after trying with my friend Razvan aka
brautomobile to find a way to have a sun gun similar light at a lower price.

You will need :
- a broken hair dryer or a really cheap one
- a 50W halogen bulb
- a socket for the bulb
Tools :
- isolating tape
- cordless drill
- philips screwdriver
- hot glue gun
- a file
- pliers
- cutter
- a small piece of metal or something similar
- a screw 3x10 ( i used a 3x25 since it was the smaller I had)
Time : 30 minutes
So....lets start
I had this broken hairdryer
The bulb
The bulb socket
First thing I did was to remove the front piece of the hairdryer
Take it apart
Remove and cut off the heating unit
Cut the isolation at the end of the wires with a cutter or a special tool like the one in the pic
To get this...
Connect the bulb socket to them for a test
Isolate for safety
Test it....
No back to construction.Put the bulb next to the dryer end to see how much room you have to make for it
Start cutting the grid
Test to see if it fits
In this case the edges needed some refinement...see the red circled part.
I used a file for it
Test again for fitting...
Now you need something to put the bulb socket onto.I used a metal sheet from a rigips profile
Bend it to get the necessary form
Using a cordless drill with a PZ1 bit screw it into place
Put the assembly back inside
I used a hot gun to put it into place but any other easier way you find will do
The front part now
Rewire it
Isolate the wires
Mount the back piece
And voila........
