Step 4Build power supply from a cork

Build power supply from a cork
Well it's not a real power supply, it's just for show. Easiest way is to carve it out of an old wine bottle cork. The top side needs to be curved to fit the curve of the spotlight, but nearly the right curve will do. To cover up any poor joins, make the foil at the sides a little longer so it can flap up round the main barrel slightly.

Glue the foil on with hot melt, double sided, or fast setting two part resin epoxy.
