starting to put it all together.

i make a small surround for the electric eye by cutting out a small piece of heavy cardstock and tracing the shape of the eye on it. then i use an xacto to cut the hole. it should be snug enough that you won't get any glue seepage.

i don't have it pictured but you should assemble the nightlight housing now. if you removed the lens on front of the nightlight, you can thread the electric eye through the hole.

next, i put the eye where i want it to be located and glue it place. when the glue has dried, turn over the front panel and glue on the shutter button.

solder the open leads to the socket on the flash assembly.

test your light once more before you start sealing everything up.
