Materials:

* Old PC box side I used tin from PC box side, it's not so hard to process it.

* Old bad lightbuld I used standard, big one, it's looks best to me.

* LED light and it's resistor I used high-intesivity blue LED and 270 ohm resistor.

* Old phone charger I got very old phone charger, output it's 4,5V so it's fits perfectly.

* Switch This switch is from lamp broken few years ago... It's dosen't looks so good, but it's useful.

Solder I thnik you know what is this...

* Electrical tape For switch wires

* Small piece of plastic I used this to stuck the LED on tin.

Tools:

I reccomend 5 and 3 mm borers, more at step 3.

For wall stand, you can just glue it, without ring, more at step 6.
