How to make The Internet (from The IT Crowd).

Step 3 The LED & its bezel

The Bezel has 4 parts to it: the bezel itself, a spring washer, a nut and a plastic insert.

I discovered a problem. *dramatic orchestral stab*

The insert is a cylindrical piece of plastic with three holes (only two are relevant to us), which holds the LED (mostly with friction) inside the bezel.
The problem is that with the LED in the insert, and the insert pushed (a.k.a. inserted) into the bezel, the LED sat short of the bezel opening. It was only by a couple of millimetres, but I didn't exactly want the LED rattling about, falling through the bezel. I needed to stand the LED away from the insert by a small amount.

I solved this by trimming a couple of tiny shards of plastic off a plastic bottle cap. You would probably be able to find something more suitable, but I'm lazy, therefore I use the closest thing to hand, in this case a sports bottle cap cover and a pair of scissors.I put the two tiny bits of plastic between the insert and the LED, in between the LED legs. This sat the LED up by the perfect amount so that It protruded fully from the bezel with the plastic insert fully inserted.

With that sorted, remove the nut and washer from the bezel, insert it through the outside of the box, and screw the washer and nut on the inside.
Then insert your LED and insert (complete with plastic bits) into the bezel. It should be held in place with friction.

I bent the LED legs apart, as I'm not going to bother attempting any other insulation. Make note of the negative leg and put a small bend right at the end of the leg, or some other feature to identify it. With the LED in the bezel there isn't any indication of polarity.

With that, you should have a box that, from the outside, looks like THE INTERNET!
This is all well and good, but it doesn't DO anything... ONWARDS!
