Drill Press LED Light UPGRADE!

For those, like me, who had their dichroic lamps fried, I present you the best adaptation to convert your broken drill press light to LED technology! :D

It's a simple tutorial showing how to convert a led lamp to fit the original dichroic slot of your drill press.

Easy to make, very CHEAP and functional!

Parts

• A led lamp;
• Copper wire;
• Paper tube.

Tools

• Hacksaw;
• Glue Gun;
• Soldering iron;
• Pliers;

Remove the busted dichroic lamp. Those lamps are cheap but they burn out in any sign of vibration... NOT suitable for a drill press (Smash that useless thing! hehehe)

Take out the bulb to expose the circuit board.

Solder two pieces of copper wire on the "positive" and "negative" pads of the circuit

Put some hot glue to secure in place the copper wires

I used a paper tube for dust protection and light deflection. Cut it out and stick into the lamp hole

I'm really glad with the final result. It's durable, bright and took me 10 min to make!
