How to build a 1,024,000 mcd portable light

Step 13Buff the LEDs and close the case up.

Buff the LEDs and close the case up.
Take a dremel tool or a soft cloth and buff off fingerprints of residue from the resin from the LEDs.

Cut a length of rubber weather stripping in half and line the edges of the light with it.

Fashion a cover for the front out of a sheet of 1/16" plastic or whatever else you might want to use. I've heard of people using plastic milk jugs as a diffuser as well.

Take a length of duct tape and tape down the cover to the weather stripping. This allows you easy access to the enclosure if you're on the road and need to work on a switch.
