LED Star Beam Clock

Step 7 Stuff it all in and Finish

Everything needs to get put into the housing.

- For this clock, the clock mechanism(which takes AC), the PSU AC wires and the AC Cord wires where all wire nutted together, except the Hot Lead for the PSU, that was soldered to the switch and another wire was ran from the other side of the switch to the AC and wire nutted together.
I then taped the nuts to the wires with electrical tape.

- I positioned the PSU in a good space and used some 3m tape, I lost the packaing and forgot the name but its grey and actually a very viscous liquid, it will stick to anything and usually won't come off. If someone knows what it is let me know I will amend this comment.

- Found an out of the way spot for the LED Driver and taped it as well.

- Snap in the switch.

- I then knotted the AC cord so it can not get torn out and damage the other parts.

Give everything a real good look. Watch out for any wires that could come loose or are exposed. And that everything is wired correctly.

I needed to notch the back panel as the LEDs were in the way of it closing all the way.
Then screwed it back together. And it worked great!
