I really liked this lamp but wanted a battery operated version but also with a timer function.

This remix only contains the base layer, so you still need to get the other parts from the original design.

I found these AAA powered pucks and decided to retrofit their electronics into the lantern. I bought the ones from ebay linked below but I've included some similar looking ones on Amazon and AliExpress (though I've not tested them).

The pucks have a remote but can also be push activated. So I've incorporated a push button on the bottom of the lantern to reach the switch.

Parts required:

• LED puck:

  • https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005560883978.html
• Soldering iron
• Some 22 AWG wire (because the existing ones aren't long enough)

Things to remember:

• The battery tabs slide in but you may need to bend the tabs a little to make sure they don't slide around
• Pay attention to where the tabs go. There are dividers to stop the tabs making contact but on one side the divider is missing. This is because the tab should be inserted upside down.
• Take note of which tab is positive because you'll need to replace the wire and resolder it on the other side
