Tiny Emergency Lamp

I got some tiny electronics stuffs today. I made a simple rechargeable lamp with some of them. it was fun and joyful to make that of a kind, a tiny and beautiful lamp <3. I am sharing my little DIY here.

This is a simple DIY and a few small things are needed to make this out.

1. A tiny plastic capsule container bottle.

2. A small piece of copper clad board (single sided).

3. On/off switch.

4 . Micro USB female.

5. White smd LED 5630.

6. Red smd LED.

7. 100 Ohms smd resistor.

8. M7 smd diode.

9. 3.7 V , 150 mA Li-po battery.

• The LED is connected to the battery without any current limiter to get maximum intensity.
• The diode blocks the back flow of voltage from battery to the charger.
• The red LED (with a 100 ohm current limiter) is the charging indicator.

• Cut a small piece of copper clad board according to the size of the bottle/container.
• Draw the layout diagram according to the circuit diagram using a permanent marker pen.
• Do the etching using ferric chloride solution.
• Clean the etched pcb and solder the components neatly and carefully.

For the enclosure of the lamp, two holes are needed. One for the on/off switch and the other for the charger port.

We have to cut the bottle for on/off switch port.

And on the blue color top, we have to cut a small rectangular port for the charger.

aaand we made the very special tiny portable lamp.

We can use a 5v smart phone charger (any) to recharge this.
