Spooky Led Lamp

Step 10Finalize it

Finalize it
Make sure the bulb if filled up to the brim so you don't get a huge air bubble trapped in the top of the bulb. Then put the led triad in place and glue it securely and totally air/water safe onto the bulb. Double check that there really are no leaks.

Bend the leads of the chip so it becomes smaller and cut down the lengths of all lead to an absolute minimum. Solder it all together.

Apply power to the screws and check that it all still works. This is the last time you'll be able to fix any problems with the connections.

Wrap a layer of sticky tape around the chip so it doesn't get shortcircuited be any metal.

Then just glue it all together so it looks like a light bulb again and you're done!

Apply power (5 volt DC) to the box and just put the bulb into the hole so it snaps down onto the magnets. Relax and admire your handiwork.... :-)
