Spooky Led Lamp

Step 7The leds

The leds
The leds must fit into the hole of the glass bulb so I filed the edges of the leds down just a bit and then glued them together.

I had a a small metallic gasket/ring that I put the three leds into and glued them in place there. By chance the gasket fitted almost perfectly onto of the opening of the glass bulb.

Solder the three long leads (the anodes / positive pin) of the leds together and solder a wire to it. Then solder the 120 ohm resistors to each of the short leads (cathodes / negative pin) of the leds.

Be sure to trim everything down as short and tight as possible.
