Buster i have exactly the same light as you,and im going to build a hood aswell

You said you attached a piece of wood to it for the lamp socket,

How did you attach the socket for the lamp onto that piece of wood,like in the first picture?

Nice i heard that worked well. I have reflectors designed for differant bulbs so i had 2 mod a little, but its all good.
