Harbor Freight flashlight desk lamp build

[bobs409]

I've been saving up some old H.F. free flashlights for awhile now for just such a project! Being a pack rat has it's advantages!

Made all from aluminum and the 4 lights are powered by a 6 volt power supply so no more batteries!! (although 3 AAA batteries will run it)

Soldered to inside contacts? 2 parallel circuits? Being LED's, this is pretty nice.

Thanks!

Yep, all soldiered connections. One wire (+) ties all 4 lights together at the top, single (+) wire runs down the tube. The (-) is the metal itself.

For a moment, I thought it was a roof installation!
