Bamboo, Beach Glass and Stone Lamp
Another Christmas eve, another last minute build. This one was a few days late.
It runs on a small solar power system, because solar power gets you laid.

Please ask questions.

Inlay Switching Power Supply
Omitted in favour of a small 12v solar system and a mostly dead car battery.

Fish in the LEDs
These LEDs want 3.2V@30mA
~12v power supply=four 3.2v LEDs in series:
12.8v= 3.2v X 4
2 LEDs in parallel:
30mA X 2 = 60mA
4X2=8LEDs
12.8A X 0.06A = 0.768Watts
