Introduction: Wooden Battery Lamp
It is a battery operated wooden LED lamp that is rechargeable and rotatable to different directions.
Step 1: Features
• Rechargeable
• Rotatable to different directions ( Rotation limited to front and right, then fold)
• 2 Modes switching(Bright and dim)
• Bright mode gives maximum lighting while dim mode gives half lighting, so it can be used as night lamp too
• Using cell phone battery to make it small..1000 mAh
• Works around 3 hrs on bright mode, and around 5 - 8 hrs on dim mode
• Can be connected on the charger and use as many hrs as you want

Step 2: Things You Need
1 W Led x 3
Resistor 1 - 100 ohm
Resistor 2 - 1k
Resistor 3 - 10 k, for dimming
battery - a 3.7 Volt cellphone battery i used. you can use any 3.7 to 6V battery you want, above 6V, circuit modification is needed
Red LED x 1 (charge indicator)
Transistor - S8050 (Led Driver)
Charging Socket - 1
Switches x 2 (1 double pole)
wires - use less thick, but enough strong wires,to save space
nuts and bolts
metal piece - for rotation system
Wood and tools

Step 3: The Making
the switches in this project used no screws but a sliding system to attach switch on wood, a piece of metal used for sliding for 1 switch and charger slot, other switch (dim and bright ) is mounted on
• Measure and Cut wood, make space for the battery to fit in, and for switches to slide in, drill a hole for rotation system
• Do wiring, solder components as described in circuit
• Glue LEDs on aluminum panel, it works as heat sink
• Make the rotation system, as you see in photos
• Glue a piece of wood to limit rotation, or the led panel connection will cut off because over rotation
i hope everything else is self explaining from the pictures. but if needs more explanation, i will reply on comments

Step 4: Finished Project
Step 5: Dimmer Circuit
After switch 1, integrate this into circuit
