LED Swing Arm Desk Lamp

This project came about because we bought some Light-emitting Diode lights direct from Hong Kong (at an excellent price, lower than US$5 each including delivery!) but neglected to test the screw-in base size. I'd bought some thing between E12 (US "candelabra") and E25/27; i do believe it had been E14. It's almost impossible to locate adapters to suit standard United States light sockets (E25/27) for those who have E14 lights, no one in the usa sells light accessories with this dimensions sockets. So, I experienced half-a-dozen bulbs that did not fit in any such thing I had. So what now? Easy! Make something that utilizes them! We utilized four with this task. Each lamp has 38 individual LEDs, so this project has an overall total of 152 white LEDs. That is adequate to read by!

Safety and wellness caution: This project makes use of energy from mains ("wall outlets") which have dangerous voltages. Do not try this project if you should be not familiar with standard electrical security methods. In the event that you ignore this warning, you may die, and it will hurt the complete time you may be dying.

Metric sales: measurements herein have been in the archaic English system. Sorry, Im American. You will find 25.4 mm into inches. Have fun transforming. Screw sizes are about equivalent, this is certainly, a Nr 4 screw is approximately 4mm in diameter. I do believe.
