Mate asked me to assist him in placing a Powabeam 11" through roof fold up handle. Image

Yeah yeah I know we used checkerplate but that was all we have and what he wanted to reinforce the roof.

When the silicon has set I'll take pics of the light fitted and the handle inside.

I like the look of the friction ring made out of aluminum, much more durable than the molded plastic on my Lightforce !!

Same system that I have in my work ute, he wont be sorry, best thing I ever did putting one of them through the roof, no more cold fingers in winter, and the bonus of folding them up out of the way is great. I use mine fairly loose when looking around, a quick twist of the locking ring and the light is nice and firm when taking a shot. Good bit of gear eh. Only thing I did differently was I didn't reinforce the roof, but I only run a 7 inch light and haven't noticed any movement in the roof yet, its been in there a couple of years now. :D nice job.
