LED flashlight with secret switch

Step 4: The LED

Adding the LED

• The anode (long leg) of the LED will be bent sideways.
• The cathode (short leg) has to go through the hole in the plastic "isolator" we just made.
• The anode will be bent 90° at the side of the "isolator" and folded back up. (see picture)
• The cathode is bent in a spiral that is flattened against the "isolator"

Thanx, English is not my first language and my dyslexia is also not helpful, so if my computer thinks that it is a word....
What does bend mean?

[zack247]

bend and bent mean basically the same thing.

to "bend" is to be doing the bending, while "bent" is to have already done the bending.

eg: they bend the metal at 90 degrees (present tense)
or: they bent the metal at 90 degrees (past tense)

if your learning a new language it can be confusing sometimes.
