Oh, I know. I take full responsibility. I knew it wasn't a safe thing to do but it was convenient and in my mind just for a couple days so not a big risk. That's why I'm telling everyone and not hiding the fact that I did a stupid, dangerous thing for the sake of saving time.
I know a lot of us on BYC use what we have around for our coops/incubators/brooders. We love to improvise and save money. I want to remind people that safety should come before all of that.
It's not so much that lights are the problem, it was my decision to use what I had around instead of waiting for my husband to install the light the right way.
I actually had second thoughts about posting the pic of the light since it was obvious how negligent I was. I decided that full disclosure was more important then my pride.
That's what I said to DH! The pics spoke volumes and made us review. Thanks for sharing.
