My mother asked me to use my “new technology” to fix this. I decided to print her a new one lol. Turned out pretty well :slight_smile: translucent PETG printed at .2mm layer height. 9V battery powering a 10W LED (more like 7 because its meant to run on 12V) and using a photoresistor a transistor and a resistor for a cheap light sensitive circuit :slight_smile: now i wonder how long the battery will last lol

@David_Sherwood , I agree. Close to 1 amp, probably 0.8A would be a bit much for the wire paths themselves and would cause heating. Now if it was 10mW, I might believe it.

Oh i used a different LED its not pictured. It does have a heat sink and silicon stranded wires. And definitely equally bright as my lamp which is rated at 60W lol

Its about an inch squared in size as well

Misleading pictures…

I apologize i had already assembled it when i decided to take pictures and its all pressure fit so its not really meant to be taken appart. The bottom piece is thou for easy battery replacement. I still havent figured out how im gonna throw in a rechargeable battery and a solar panel small enough to fit it
