Caving Lamp

thingiverse

Small cave lighting kit with one LED - the initial prototype is complete, awaiting future upgrades. Every component, except for the green component, which is PLA, are designed in ABS but can be printed using either material. A layer thickness of 0.25mm is optimal, although different values can be used successfully. The manual provides guidance on assembling the lighting kit. Driver : ACM7135 (Google the supplier to source one) Using this linear driver rated for 1W at 350mA helps manage heat generated within plastic casing due to minimal thermal dissipation. Switch : Searching online for a KW12 switch should yield results - often utilized as an end-stop mechanism Optic Lens: Cree XP's LXP variant has a maximum height of 14.6mm, designed to fit seamlessly within the lamp housing. Seal all electrical components using small O-rings Use two lithium-ion battery cells and one Small JST connector originally sourced for use in radio-controlled devices. Two more rings serve specific purposes - maintaining sealing within cable glands while also keeping cables securely positioned within. Utilize small screws with an M3 dimension for attaching cables' connection glands and then install a lamp mounting bracket utilizing two additional, similarly-sized bolts secured by smaller plastic nuts. The support structure can be mounted by assembling several key components prior to installation. Upon completion, wires can then be properly connected through insertion. The end of the wire cable then requires soldering onto both connections.
