TIPS:
Some cans will enable you to use a can-opener on both ends, which can eliminate the need for a drill, and make the project even simpler, without affecting the end result, especially when using a diffusion covering.
Skip painting the interior of the cans white if desired. The light will not be quite as bright, but still excellent.
