Although It's Not Always Possible to Find a Lamp of Your Liking, Or That Does Not Occupy Much Space on Your Desk, Limiting Your Work Area. In Project I Made a 3D Printed Articulating Lamp, Which Can Be Configured According to Your Needs. Possibly the Final Product Will Be More Expensive Than Ordinary Lamps That You Will Find in Stores. But None Will Be Configurable Like This, Nor Will Let You Be Proud to Say That You Did It By Yourself! If You Have a 3D Printer or Have Access to One in Your Hacker/Maker Space, This Is an Interesting and Useful Project to Equip Your Workshop and Practice Your 3D Printing and Modeling Skills. Adapted from Kenneth Awesome Articulating, Wall-Mounted, Magnetic Phone Mount Design into an Articulating Wall Mounted LED Lamp. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2448971 Full Instructions at: https://www.instructables.com/id/Articulating-LED-Lamp-REMIXED and https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Articulating-LED-Lamp Be Careful When Working with Electricity. Make Sure There Is No Short Circuit and Just Try to Connect to the Electrical Power Plug After Making Sure That All Components Are Properly Connected and Double Insulated. If You Don't Have Enough Experience Working with Electricity, Ask for Help. Don't Touch Any Exposed Wire or Any Metal Part of the LED Lamp After It's Energized! Some LED Spots Have a Metal Heat Sink. Avoid Touching That Part When the Lamp Is On! Once There Are Exposed Wires, It's Not Recommended to Use It Places Accessible to Children or Animals. Under No Circumstances Use It Close to Wet Surfaces! It's an Experimental Design, So You Might Use It with Caution. https://youtu.be/w6eKZQKXW6g
