If you don’t have and AMS/CFS, you can add a PAUSE in the slicer to create the red and white stripes.
Assembly
The battery goes in the center compartment. Just glue in whatever Battery holder you decide to use. Wires can run underneath the compartment walls. (I used a CR123A battery and a matching holder.) In the picture below, the black and white wires running out of scene will go to the LED light.
A resistor needs to be wired into the circuit somewhere in the base. I used a high-value resistor to keep the light dim, but you could easily make it brighter. (If using a Use 15Ω to 150Ω resistor, depending on brightness.)
The led can be glued into the LED holder piece, which screws into the top of the lighthouse body.
It is a good idea to insulate your wires before fully assembling
Glue the roof and railing into place along the fitted indents.
Ensure that you don’t get the circuit permanently assembled before you get a chance to run the LED wires up the body of the lighthouse!
