Despite the fact that in modern stores an assortment of goods of a very different subject for every taste is presented, items made with your own hands are still quite popular - not because they cannot be bought, but because their production will bring you a lot of pleasure and experience. … One such item is a simple LED flashlight. You can make your own LED headlamp and then use it at home.
Instructions
Step 1
You will need simple materials that are easy to get in any home - a soldering iron, a Krona battery (two pieces - a new and an old one), a resistor, two LEDs, and thin sheet metal strips. You will also need a pair of scissors to cut into the tin.
Step 2
Make a plate out of tin that will become the base of the flashlight, and solder the finished metal clamp for the battery to it. If you don't have a clamp, you can similarly bend it out of a strip of tin and then solder it to the base. Fasten the "Krona" in the clamp and make sure it is held tight and tight.
Step 3
Now take the old Krona battery and disassemble it. You do not need the inner contents of the battery - you can throw it away. Remove the contents of the battery with small wire cutters, cut off a third of the old battery with sharp metal scissors, and then solder the remainder of the battery to the base of your future flashlight.
Step 4
Install the terminal block inside and solder the LEDs to it, taking into account the polarity. After that, take the switch and solder it to the structure so that it is connected to the LEDs. Pour the structure with a glue gun or epoxy resin and wait until the adhesive is completely dry.
Step 5
Attach a wide elastic band to the finished flashlight so that it can be worn on the forehead, freeing your hands for other work.
