Coffee Maker to Pico Aquarium Night Light

Night lights and aquariums are very relaxing to look at.

I have this coffee maker that a friend gave me which broke down a few months ago. Here in Japan, you have to pay before you throw electronic stuffs away. So I got this idea and tried to resurrect this item instead of paying for it before trashing it.



Materials I used:

1. defective coffee maker
2. soldering iron and leads
3. pliers with wire cutters
4. a pair of scissors
5. screw driver
6. hot glue gun and glue sticks
7. rechargeable batteries (and a charger of course)


Optional/Additions:

1. miniature DC powered mood light
2. small circuit board switch

Step 1 Preparation

Remove base plate and gut everything. Remove all the circuits and aluminum tubes.

But don't forget to save the switch and wires for later use.
