Step 1: Step 1: The Lamp

The Lamp,

I found the best body at hand for this project is a desk lamp, and here's why : It's flexible, nice to look at, and the right size & shape .

You need to make sure you don't overpay for one, they cost from anywhere from $1 - $5 , depends on style, color. Make sure your lamp has a clamp on like shown in the picture.

So Here's what you want your lamp to have :

- On / Off switch , mine had a voltage regulator - EVEN BETTER.
- Same color as the rest of the parts you use.
- Medium height.
- Flexible Neck.
- Bottom Clamp.

Now let's take it apart .

First remove any light bulbs you may have in the lamp in case you didn't get a new one. Then start to unscrew the socket from the lamp, there should only be one screw holding it in the center of the socket. (pic 2)

Then unscrew the hole head part of the lamp neck like shown in ( pic 3 ). You should find the 2 screws at the ending of the neck part where the head and lamp neck join.

That's it for step 1.

Why don't you make it even better you can add a small charcoal filter behind your fan to eliminate smoke output.

so what wires do you put onto the circuit board? the usb cable to be spliced into the circuit board, or what

I forsee a carbon filter mod, to filter out at least the particulate.

I like this idea a lot. The use of an LED fan is cool. But... This doesn't absorb smoke. It looks like it just sucks it into the lamp face, then blows it out the back, with a pleasant smell. Why not have a simple screen or loose-knit cloth around the exit holes, to actually trap smoke particles? Also, you don't have to have a clamp desk-lamp and a metallic ashtray to make this. It can be a lamp with a round base too, then just put any ashtray you want to onto the base.
