Albatross Light // Dynamic Desk Lighting System

myminifactory

I created this lighting system to easily adapt to various situations. It utilizes two task lights (I'm particularly fond of these LED ones from Hykolity) that are suspended from the ceiling via pulleys and paracord. The counterweighted mechanism allows these lights to be effortlessly lifted up and down. In their raised position, they provide excellent coverage and brightness for everyday desk work while remaining out of the way. When lowered, they create a very bright and shadow-free space perfect for film, photography, or any other situation that demands exceptional lighting. It's also incredibly fun to use and has a stylish appearance ;). All necessary 3D printable parts are included in this download. Other components I utilized include: (2x) Hykolity LED Task Lights Warriorcord Paracord (10x) 608 Bearings (14x) 3/8"-16 x 1" Hex Bolts (2x) 3/8"-16 x 2.5" Hex Bolts (16x) 3/8"-16 Hex Nuts (7x) Eye Screws or compatible ceiling hooks A 5 lb. weight - (This can be a variety of materials such as pennies, lead weights, etc... whatever fits in the Counterweight Holder "CW_holder.STL") You should be able to find all necessary materials or suitable alternatives at your local hardware store. Please watch my assembly video for further clarification: I hope you enjoy this project; it has made a significant improvement on my life!
