Step 4Determine How You Will Fix the Lamp to Your Bed
I went through a lot of ideas on how I might affix the lamp to my bed. I thought of building a housing for the winder handle, clamping the assembly to the headboard, and so on.
I decided to make a back base from a a scrap of 2x4. The power supply would be mounted to the top of one side and the electronics board to the other. The lamp would be affixed to the top, and then the entire unit could be either clamped on or screwed in to the back of my headboard. Also, I could drill down into the top to fit the bottom of the USB lamp into a secure socket.
Once I saw how the clamped lamp looked, I knew I was in some trouble in the wife department. Ultimately, I decided to mount the base directly to the back of the headboard.
