How to convert a IKEA Jonisk lamp with LEDs

How to convert a IKEA Jonisk lamp with LEDs
I bought a IKEA Jonisk lamp to have in my living room, but when i powered the lamp up with a 60W bulb it become hot as ****. I started to figure out how to convert it to a LED-lamp instead.
I found a company that sells high powered LED modules (www.leds.de). I ordered 3 SEOUL P5 RGB LED that already was mounted on a PCB. For controlling the LEDs I choose a PIC16F628A and 3 TLE4242G constant current sources. After that I found a remote controlling kit laying around in a box, so I added it to the project. By controlling the current sources with a uP and PWM, I now can blend the lamp to almost any color I want. And it use much less power now and generates almost no heat.
This project was not supposed to be on Instructables.com from the beginning so there is a lack of photos in the instructable.

Hi Lond, I too am somewhat confused. What is the difference between just using a standard LED "mood" bulb screwed into the original fixture, and the mod you are suggesting? Is the regular store-bought colored light not powerful enough? Or is it all about tweaking and modding yourself?
I should add that I really LOVE the end result of what you did, but sadly I'm definitely not a DIY person, so most of what you are saying is a lot of mumbo jumbo to me (e.g. I have no clue what a PCB is). So if I can reach a similar result without using any tools, that would be great. Otherwise, perhaps you can explain it to me in layman's terms? And then I will have to call a friend... :)
Thank you!

Great project!!
...but source code??

Please don't take this as criticism, as I do in fact quite like your final product, but there is something terribly wrong about the statement "I update the source code for the lamp."

LOVE it !

i'm a big fan of the "as is" corner of Ikea & are often drawn to their light fittings (missing a base or shade etc) to reuse with other found objects...

i find LED/electronic assemblage abit too confusing... *are they're ready-made LED light fittings available? (like a pendant fitting with bayonet holder that you add your own shade to etc)

thanks : )

I have been trying to open my Jonisk lamp. I'm concerned if I try to pull it off I'll break the polycarbonate. Does it twist or pull off?

I finally got it, thank you! It was really stuck--probably being on the floor for a year in my neighbor's house didn't help!
