Introduction: RGB Changing LED Lamp With IR Remote Control
I have an old but beautiful IKEA lamp, however the 12V 20W halogen bulb it used is broken now. The idea of replacing it with LEDs came up days ago, luckily I got a LED controller along with a SMD RGB LED strip, so I decided to give it a try.
Step 1: Stuff I Use
1. the old Ikea lamp called Qila;
2. RGB LED controller with LED strip and 12V 1000mA AC/DC adapter;
3. Hot glue gun and other handy tools...

Step 2: Take Out the Halogen Bulb and Its Socket
Step 3: Mount IR Receiver and LED Controller
Step 4: Replace the Power Cord
the orignal lamp used ac power so the power need to be replaced.
Step 5: Mount the RGB LED Strip
Step 6: Tada!
here are some pictures and videos of the final effect.
