Stone & Cement Led Lighting Project

________________________________________________________________________________

First you will need one sheet of aluminium where you will cut two long thin lengths from. The easiest way to do it is to cut it with a craft knife and bend the piece repetitively to the point where the piece of aluminium breaks free.

Once the two pieces of aluminium has been cut, you can join the two pieces with a separate piece of aluminium Screws, and Nuts.

To adjust the brightness of the LEDS you'll be needing:

1. Dimmer

2. LEDS

3. 12 Volt Power Plug

4. Some Wires

The Dimmer will need the Power Jack to be soldered to the input terminal and two other wires connected to the output terminal which will be connected to the LEDS later on.

To prevent the cement contacting any of the wiring, make sure to add some blue tag to the power jack and cover the dimmer with some Electrical tape.

Now you can Insert the electronics into the cement by preparing a box around the size of a business card holder. Stick the Power jack to the side of the container with some blue tag and pour the cement into the container. Make sure that the cement covers the electronics completely. Insert the aluminium into the cement as it dries. Repeat the insertion of the aluminium to the other side.

Now you can insert some pebbles to the undried cement to make it look extra slick. Now you can attach the LED strips to the bottom part of the aluminium and solder the two wires to it. If it doesn't work try switching the wires around. Once the cement has set pull it out of the container and take the blue tag off the power jack.

Now you can show these awesome looking LEDs to family and friends!
