Abajour from the hell and no wire

Hi guys, I got some things from the "trash" and I'll show you how I did an " wireless " Abajour  without spend  money and energy, well I spent just 2 bucks on ebay for a 12v board with 12 5mm leds.


Here I have a "box" made with paraffin. It was used for garnish before the trash.
It will be used to put a little 12v 3amp. battery, led "lamp", the on/off key
and the socket to insert the battery rechager.  





This is the Led "lamp" , this is ready to use 12v - DC power.

This is the 12volts 3amp battery. I'll not use connectors since this is an old battery and I'll use it just for this so the wires are soldered.

So, here are the things used on this Abajour except for the quad cam device ( the black box) , the idea was use some connectors of it since it's not working but I found a nice connector to insert the battery recharger.

Now  the recharger connector and the things to be used.

that's it, after solder the positive wire between the battery and the on/off key to the led + side and the -12v wire it's ready. Just solder the battery recharger connector and I recommend you to use a diode to prevent the battery discharge if you insert the recharger  and forget to power it on.

Almost done!!! after the test let's prepare the paraffin "box"

Make 2 holes ,one for the on/off switch and another for the recharger connector.

now the final test.

now, "fire in the hole" !!!








let's turn off the lights!!!!

now it's ok. let's put it in a place that don't have a way to turn on an wired abajour........

Done, let's turn off the lights again.....

That's it.


A home made abajour without wire using things that could be on the trash  for 2 bucks and made in 20 minutes.. or less.

If you want to make a wired abajour I recommend the things bellow:

A Par 20 socket lamp, a par 20 LED light , I bought on ebay for $2,50 and the wire to connect the AC power, this one is from an old TV. If you prefer, use an on/off switch. To make it better install a photo sensor to turn on the abajour at night.

that's the Par 20 LED light.

Overdexter - English

Hi guys, like I promissed the brasilian overdexter has an english version now.

I have a lot of ideas and projects but I don't have the same situation about the time to make all of them.
I hope you enjoy with some of my funny things made at home.

My real name is not Dexter, it was gave by my friends from the last company that I worked , it was based on dexter's lab that makes craziest things on his lab, like the lab that I had before.

The brasilian Blog and the english blog will have some differences, soon they will be the same on my website www.hlss.ws.

The things that I make are designed to use alternative and renewable energies that do not pollute or at least less polluting than something that you buy in stores. Most of them will be make and after some videos and screen shots, the parts will be used for a new project since I don't pretend to spend a lot of money with them. That's just a hobby and I have the pleasure to create them.

Put projects on a paper is easier  but for me make than works is harder and funniest at the same time
Sorry for some English errors, I'm not native but I'll do my best.

Regards
Dexter
