LED Desk Lamp

Having some flexible metal tubes from 2 old lamps I decided that instead of throwing them away it will be more fun to build something useful with them.

Coincidence makes it that I needed a desk lamp, a directional one to be able to point it any direction.

The second important thing was to be able to fix it to the side of the desk so it will not occupy any space on the work space.

After searching the internet and local warehouses for ideas and materials this is the cheapest most effective solution I could find.



 The Led Bulb is the most expensive item in the set, but it takes only 5 watts and gives a lot of light back.

The base is easily detached, just by loosening a butterfly nut.
The hardest part was probably pushing the cable inside the flexible tube, to make contact with the bulb. 

The power switch is fixed on the cable, and currently sits on the floor. I find it easy to switch it by foot.

There you go, another weekend project for you.
