Cool night out of a can of chips

If you have an old jar full of chips, then do not rush to throw it away, because you can make a very cool nightlight out of it.

And so let's go.

Instruments:
1. Soldering iron (flux, solder ...)
2. Scissors
3. Double-sided tape or thermal glue

Materials:
1. Jar with chips
2. LED matrix (from any unnecessary flashlight)
3. The switch
4. USB cable (as power supply)
First, we need to make holes throughout the bank (with scissors), and there should be a distance of 0.5-1 cm between these holes.
This is what we should end up with.
Then we take a cover and we make holes for the switch. I did this with a heated needle.
Pass the cable into the lowest hole and bring it out, with a margin of 3-5 cm.
We take the matrix and look for “plus and minus” on it, plus in the middle minus at the very edge. So we solder the positive USB cable to the plus LEDs.
And minus to the right contact of the switch.
Next, take a 5-cm wire length and solder to the middle contact of the switch.
Next, the average contact of the switch is soldered to the negative of the matrix.
Our night light is almost ready, we just have to stick the LEDs on the double-sided tape to the lid itself. And close the jar tightly with the lid.
That's all the nightlight is ready, it will take a minimum of material to make it, and not enough time.
This night lamp fits very well into any interior of your room!

Apparently, the author does not want to do it right, but he’s embarrassed to answer questions. His right.
Oh, I already look, the "cool specialist" was noted by a minus.

I think the author of this homemade product has already managed to do it with "do it yourself", maybe not one?
Judging by other publications on this site - hardly ....

What shall I say? It is necessary to push the younger generation to make their crafts more meaningfully, so that they read books and magazines. And what he did with his own hands, albeit crookedly, is well done. If the thirst for needlework does not run out - it will be great. A criticize for the cause certainly necessary, to their own benefit.


blush Did you rather talk about "pioneers" now? I think the author of this homemade product has already managed to do it with "do it yourself", maybe not one?
: laughing:
Well, it happens, well, what would it be?
Give then the scheme of your matrix, because in cheap toEThai lights are simply connected in parallel LEDs, and at the same time - the maximum output current of your USB-voltage source.

Personally, nothing is heating up and overheating. And if someone has a weak matrix, then 50 Ohm-100 Ohm resistors will go into use.

blush Ivan is calm, as Valery interprets us ".. So, the approach to homemade products - it happens different ... It all depends on kind of homemade.."
What say
And another thing: the word "cool" in the name of the night lamp looks like a saddle on a dog. Equally appropriate.
Powered by USB "LED matrix (from any unnecessary flashlight)" - with a high probability of "kill" it.
