You can try to make this, because this stuff is very useful if you take image in dark place. Now i will show you how to make it, not difficult and you can make it under 1 hour!.

Why i'm make this stuff?

I'm make this because i need to use lamp for my smartphone camera and my phone can't turn on the lamp if i record a video, so i make this.


Let's Make It!!

Materials:



• 4 White LED
• 1 Diode
• A small Momentary switch
• 3.5 audio jack
• Rechargeable button cell battery pack
• A case
• Glue
• Electrical tape



Tools:



• Soldering iron
• Pliers
• Scissors
• and anything maybe you need

Before next to hard step, we need to make the plan for this Selfie Lamp, so



• First, i draw the case to paper
• Next, i draw the place for LED, Audio jack, and the momentary switch
• Open the case and i make all of the inside flat, so i cut all the parts inside the case
• After that, we can going to the next step

After you finish planning the case, apply it to your case. Just follow the instructions:



• Make a marks at the case for make hole for LED like your plan
• Take scissors or any tools for make the hole
• Slowly, make a hole on it
• After you finish make the hole, insert the led
• Next, you need to solder the circuits. Ok lets do it!

Ok, before you ready to solder the circuit, you need to read this first:

The Battery:



• Take your battery,
• Hold the battery like image 2,
• Take your electrical tape and tape it. so it will looks like image 3
• Next, i place 2 wire to the battery and i tape it again.


The Audio Jack:

My first audio jack is to big for the case, so i use a new smaller audio jack. So it will looks better.

So this is the circuits:



• The LED is using parallel circuit
• The Positive pole of the LED is going to battery positive and one again is going to Diode and right channel of your audio jack (LED-Battery-Diode-Right channel)
• The negative pole of the LED is going to battery negative and one again is going to Gnd of your audio jack (LED-Battery-Gnd)


Solder it:



• First i'm glue the momantary switch to the case
• Next i'm solder all of the LED and the switch
• After that, i'm solder the battery to the LED and the switch
• Next, solder the diode and the audio jack


After all, you can test to turn on your LED

To finishing this Selfie Lamp, I'm use this step:



• Glue the battery to the case
• Next, i'm glue the audio jack to the case
• Take another case and glue it
• Wait until dry. This will take time around 5 minutes to glue dry
• Test it before go to the next step
• I use black electrical tape to close hole on the case
• And this Selfie Lamp is finish!!!
