Description

I replaced the burned out bulb in our stable with an LED version. Of course I couldn't just do a flood light I had to add the star to the front.
Our stable is a unique shape make with 'sticks'. So this might not be suitable to your stable's roof angles.

The light is a repurposed blown out 12 Volt LED light which put out the light of about a 40W bulb. In this light the inverter which runs on 12V is bad. The LEDs I found just start to turn on at around 12 - 14 volts. This dim voltage was perfect for the soft glow needed. I put one white LED behind the star (sanded down the edges to give a soft glow instead of bright light). The star LED is wired in series to the 'flood' light. I run the lights off an old 19 Volt Wall Wart power supply which is connected to a buck-buck regulator set to the desired brightness level.
The first led I tried to use came from some Harbor Freight 'free' flashlights. They looked great but burned out quickly due to heat. The new version is not even getting warm and has been running constantly for about 2 weeks now.

Assembly. After filing to fit pieces together, I super glued the assemblies together, wired it up and hot glued to the inside of the stable. the center connector can be screwed onto the back section. This might not have been a good idea as it would be very difficult to remove now and the window doesn't have enough room to open fully. --- bad design, I didn't think of everything! but I can still move it to the side enough to get to the dimmer adjustment if needed.
Oh well, I'm not changing it now.
I split the print into 8 pieces to make it easier to print. (Thingiverse is only showing 4 at this time. Let me know if the others don't show up)

Hope this gives you inspiration to make your own.
