Batman Night Lamp
Hi All,
Few months back I was inspired by Yet another Batman Lamp. I wanted to make one, but I did not want to buy a new plywood or MDF sheet. I wanted to reuse / recycle what I already had.
So I made following changes in my design
- I will use cardboard instead of plywood
- Build smaller
- Lesser LED lights for night lamp
And you do not need any power tools.. safe to replicate at home for any new DIY enthusiast
What Do We Need ?
- A cardboard piece 18" x 7"
- Cutter
- Amber led strip
- Led 12V driver
- Thin wires, suitable for DC
- Electric wire with power socket
- Pencil, scale and eraser
- Black acrylic paint
- Soldering iron
- Hot glue gun
I got my cardboard from one of the Amazon's delivery boxes and the wires from my previous projects
Cutting
- One can download batman's logo from internet
- I decided to hand draw it, mine is 18" x 7"
- Carefully cut the batman's logo as shown
LED
- I wanted this lamp as a night lamp
- So to reduce light, I have used just 5 LED strip elements
- Connect all +ve to each other and the LED driver
- Connect all -ve to each other and the LED driver
- Solder all connections
- Connect the 220V input to the LED driver with electrical wire with power socket
- Hot glue the cables in place
Finishing
- Paint the front side and the edges with black acrylic paint
- You can decorate with stickers or draw on it
- Using double side tape to hang it on the wall
- Switch on the lamp and admire
