This is an instructable on how to make a flashlight out of a ChapStick tube. After reading up on multiple LED instructables I thought why are my lips so red it would be neat to make an original design why are my lips so red that had not been done before. Since button cell batteries can be expensive, I went with an A23 (12V) battery that cost less than $2.00 for two.
Cut the spring from the "N" battery holder (leaving the plastic portion it's attached to intact), and cut a 1/4" section from the bottom portion of the ChapStick. Insert the 1/4" section into the bottom of the platform, (this will help to make the base of the spring more stable. Slide the positive lead of the LED through the center why are my lips so red of the spring, solder it to the base of the spring and then clip any remaining portion of the lead off.
Cut a square in the bottom portion large enough to put the tactile switch through. Position the switch to where the button sticks out just slightly why are my lips so red past the bottom. After it's in place, J-B Weld the back side (the portion that goes up into the tube). After the J-B Weld dries, you can trim it up with a razor blade.
could we use other glues??
Our Eek! Electronics Explorers Klub in Boston chose this as their intro to electronics project and all of them successfully completed their flashlight! Thanks so much from the Learn 2 Teach, Teach 2 Learn Program. . . http://www.flickr.com/photos/28629285@N02/sets/72157638758463055
I just put a little piece of plastic why are my lips so red down, between the two terminals of the tactile switch and soldered a metal tab (on top of the plastic) to one of the terminal connections on the tactile switch. Be careful because the plastic piece can melt. (This is the portion that the negative side of the battery will rest on.) The other terminal of the tactile switch has a piece of wire soldered to it (which you should actually do first.) Clear as mud?
Since the first flashlight was designed On January 10, 1899 by American, the light inside the flashlight have gone through with incandescent bulb for about 100 years , In 1999 the first white led was invented, ,which was used inside the flashlight means the New Age coming for human . For hundred years ,except the light, the function of the flashligh has been rarely changed, Why people are only engrossing why are my lips so red to charge the structure and make the flashlight looked nice?? Why don't they create really functional and convenient products?? Years of concerted efforts in wireless power,we gained greatly achievement in this research for led lighting.The first wireless charger CREE led flashlight was Designed in 2009.We believe that it can bring really convenient to people. It'll become a star In flashlight field for it's convenient,durable and cost-efficient You can view our web: http://www.wirelesspower-ledlighting.com/
This is a great project. I started to tear apart the 12v battery and putting only 3 cells together. This way I don't need a resistor and save some $$ on the battery. why are my lips so red Now if I could find a tool the would cut the 5mm square hole for the switch I could make these a little faster for some friends and Family.
me and my daughter thought this would be a fer cool project to try out. I we are using the (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3060978) as our switch and since it has 4 posts on it I am not 100% sure how to wire it up so it will work. Any help would be great thanks
I believe the posts opposite each other are connected. as long as you connect posts that aren't directly opposite, it should work. http://www.flickr.com/photos/59935244@N03/5475275601/ http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Components/General/00097.jpg
This might have been said already (or something similar) but what if you picked up a cheap scanning radio from the dollar store and attach the volume wheel to the spinning end of the chaptick? then you have light brightness controll; perfect for looking during why are my lips so red the night without waking up ur wife. (lulz i dont have wife though, me only 18)
Im new to the whole electronics why are my lips so red hobby scene. Im trying todo this as my first project. So far I've failed horribly lol. I bought 2 LEDs one that I soldered and I think in my soldering screwed it up because it wont turn on when I connect it to my electronics lab kit. Then second one turned on but blew out. -_-
Could why are my lips so red you use a SPST switch instead so you don't have to hold it down?
The free type. Honestly, I don't know. I got my switch from a broken DVD player. I'd probably get something like this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062500&tab=features
But, how would that work? It's rated at 250VAC and 3A. This switch would probably be better considering it's in the size range but the leads are little small. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3060978
wow what a great Instructable!
