I'm making some UV lamps from 3W 390nm LEDs along with some bits of wood, metal scraps and cut off champagne, vodka and other bottles silvered as reflectors, lithium batteries and components like switches and tiny usb charging/decharging circuit boards
A baby Ewok?
The LEDs are identical to those at the top except that they soldered onto these little plates - with the others I glue them onto copper nails to dissipate heat a bit
A half-assembled lamp showing the switch mounted on a bit of aluminium along with a battery holder, and a breakout board to control the battery. (the actual lamp part is out of frame on the end of the fat dowel - or will be)
Another lamp base a bit earlier in the process, ready to fit a switch
lamps.
Waiting for glue to dry...
More lamps
