First of all, a big thank you to TechDino for his beautiful work and for making the 21 available to me (to all).
I made some modifications:
- Instead of the LEDs used, I used a 1m - 5V Cob LED strip.
- Since I had a round on/off switch I used this.
- I didn't want to operate the lamp with a battery but rather permanently and so I installed a round USB-C socket.
- I had to adjust the frame to close the rectangular hole for the designated switch on the left side.
- Two holes had to be created on the right side for the switch and the USB-C socket.
- I also created a hole in the lid to make it easier to open the lid again.
All items are from Aliexpress:
- Cob LED, white, 320LEDs 5mm 5V, 1m
- USB-C Buchse mit LED rund zum Einbau inkl. Kabel und PH 2.0 Buchse in schwarz
- Runder Kippschalter in schwarz
- PH 2.0 Stecker mit Kabel
The wiring is relatively simple
- The red wire from the LED strip is soldered to one side of the switch.
- The other side of the switch is connected to the red cable of the USB-C socket (a PH 2.0 cable was used here because I had it and the USB-C socket has the corresponding counterpart). You can also cut off the PH 2.0 plug on the USB-C socket and then solder the red cable directly to the toggle switch.
- Now the black cable from the USB-C socket and the black cable from the LED strip are connected.
- All soldering points were covered with shrink tubing.
