Modify a Bluetooth Path Light to Create a Monster-Light

Step 1: Items Used in This Project

Step 2: Get Your One-Eyed Monster

Print the images or you can also get any other one eyed monsters you desire.
Print out the Monster you chose with the corresponding eye.
Cut out your monster so only your monster is visible
Set your monster cutout aside
Get your Bluetooth Path light and start taking off the big 3 screws.
Prep your Soldering Iron
Locate the speakers on the top part of the light and remove all the screws.
Your speaker wires should be exposed, using your soldering iron remove the wires from the speakers
Remove the white dome from the Path light

Notes- Save your screws

Grab the white dome and your monster print out
Center and Align the dome on your monster and with a pencil trace out a circle
Cut out the circle with some scissors
Grab your eyeball and cut out the Iris only
Use clear tape to laminate it
Cut out any excess tape
Using some Zip ties reassemble the base and the first tier piece with the white dome
With some glue adhere the eyeball to the white dome
Let it dry
Grab your monster print and laminate it( just for waterproofing)-
Substitute this step with clear tape or sheet protector if you do not own a lamination machine
Cut out excess material

With a pencil and your monster, trace out your monster onto the cardboard.
Cut off the arm and legs of your monster on the cardboard
Take off 1/8" border so the cardboard does not show around the edges of your monster
With a sheet protector and tape cover the cardboard cutout to protect it from water.
Align cardboard with Bluetooth path light and mark three holes
Using zip ties secure the cardboard to the Bluetooth path light
Grab your monster cutout and turn it over and place tape(can use double stick tape instead)
Place tape all around main body
Align and attach monster cutout to the cardboard

To reattach the speakers for the Bluetooth Path light we need to extend the wires
Cut two pieces of hookup wire about 4",
Strip the ends off
Solder to wire coming from Bluetooth Path light
Use electrical tape
Taking note of the negative/positive wire from the Bluetooth Path light route the wire into the top cover where the speaker goes. Negative wire has white dashed lines on it
Solder the negative to negative terminal and positive to positive terminal on the speaker
Screw Speaker back into the top cover
Using two of the long screw, screw them into the top cover as far as they will go
Using zip ties secure them in place on the top two zip ties in the main base of the path light

Remove the connector from the wires by pushing on the two tabs, some force by be required, use a blunt object so you don't hurt your fingers
Cut 6" of speaker wire, 16 gauge
Solder onto wire
Cover with electrical tape
Guide the wire through the coupler
With some cardboard wrap the a pieces around the end of the post and secure (this is to protect the post if you want to reuse it).
Guide the wire through the PVC pipe
Wrap some cardboard around the PVC pipe and attach to other end of elbow coupler and tighten screw
Reattach the connector

Note: if you try to use our little monster he will fall over cause he is not balanced

Using the flat bar aluminum make a holder for the post
1. Using a table vice grip make a 90 degree bend leaving 1.75" of material after bend. Bend was not straight, made it uneven so we can place the bar further back
2. Make another 90 degree bend opposite of the bend you just made leaving at least 1.5" of material before bend
Drill two holes for zip-ties at least 1.25" from bend
Using dremel resize flat bar aluminum
1. Flat bar aluminum was 36" in length, cut off 17.75"
Use cardboard to line the inside of the groove that way the post does not get scratched up.

Install your monster and connect to the Bluetooth and play your favorite scary music
