Very Bright Lumos Wand for ~$10

 by johnwt

Step 5: Lumos!

Assuming you connected everything right, you should be able to key the button or switch and have your light come on!  The Dragon LED I recommended has 180 degree output, making the wand a pinprick of light from all directions save that of the user.  I have had people say that this wand looks exactly like the Lumos charm performed in the Harry Potter movies.

If I did my math right, using an Energizer Lithium Photo 123 3V cell, you should have about 17 hours of full power, magically blinding operation from your new wand.  After that, the brightness will start to diminish, but should last you a very long time.

I used this wand to play Draco Malfoy on Halloween with a wizard's robe made from DIYFashon .
