How to make a fantastic looking retro steam punk style battery powered lamp from parts from an old valve radio system!
All the steps for this are detailed in this instructable. There are two YouTube videos included from my channel so you can see how effective this looks and how easy it is to make. I'm sure you will put your own spin on this project. The wiring is very simple.

如何善用舊真空管無線電系統零件做一個以電池供電的夢幻復古蒸汽龐克風格燈!
所有步驟會在這裡詳細說明。我在YouTube視頻中分成二段影片,因此您可以看到它的效果如何,以及它的作法有多麼簡單。 我相信你將會用自己的方式來詮釋這個企劃。 它的接線是非常簡單。

Cut up a block of wood to mount the lighting, batteries and valves.
Place the lights and valves where they are most appealing to the eye. Make sure the LEDs are close to the valves to it looks like the valves are turned on when everything is lit up!
切下一塊木頭來安裝燈光,電池和真空管。
將燈光和真空管放在最引人注目的位置。 確保LED燈靠近真空管,這樣當所有東西亮起來時,真空管看起來也像是被開啟了!
Drill Holes and Fit Parts 鑽孔和安裝零件
