Step 3Soldering and Hole Poking
Solder the wires, switch and LED together. First solder the wires to the battery, then test with multimeter to make sure the connection is good. Then solder to the LED.
I have used electrical tape on the battery. I tried to solder directly to the battery, it didn't work and the battery got very hot. I think it's not safe to apply heat directly to a battery. You may have to flip the battery to make sure that you have the battery polarity matched with the LED.
You will then poke holes for the LED and Switch. I used the box knife to make X cuts then used a Phillips screw driver to clean the holed out. On the switch side, you want to be sure not to make the hole too big. The nut on the switch needs something to grab onto.
