Arduino Wall Lamp

So, I have always wanted a nice lamp by the side of my bed, Something simple with out any buttons.
Of course this would mean it had to be wireless.I also wanted to use it from my bed but not getting out of my bed to turn it off. So it had to be remote controlled, So I picked up a arduino nano and a IR sensor to help me with the goal.


I have access to my schools laser cutter for this to help me with the materials part and also the making part.

Step 1 Parts

I used for this project:

Electronics:
 1X Ardunio (I used a nano to fit in the casing I would make.)
 1X Power Supply device (Must be able to support the arduino's needs)
 2X RGB LED (Any type works)
 1X PCB or Stripboard ( I used a old lot that did not have a lot soldered on it)
 1X IR sensor.
 1X IR remote (any kind will do)

Materials:
 1X Acrylic sheet (White)
 1X Small acrylic sheet (clear)
 1X Sandpaper ( IN case you don't want to use a laser cutter to fog the clear acrilic)
 4X Screws of your choice (What fits in your Wall?)

Tools:

 1X Laser cutter ( I used my schools one)
 1X Solder
 1X Soldering iron
 1X Black tape ( To hide the arduino LED's )

pretty cool....good work....of corse you could use more LEDs for more light....but its ok...maybe its not the basic light fro reading for example but it works more like a mood light right?
