Glimrande lantern with LED bulb & printed mantel

thingiverse

Based on Adam Savage's one day build of a gas lamp, I wanted to create something myself. Being based in Ireland not all of the parts Adam suggested were available to me. I'm not going to rehash Adam's parts list, but the key differences are as follows: * The Ikea Glimrande lantern is the basis of this project. * For the electrical components, I used the nearest equivalents I could find on Amazon.co.uk: a bulb, switches, and battery holders. You can follow Adam's video for most of the assembly; however, there are some key differences to note: * The bulb above requires ~6V rather than the ~3V bulb Adam used - so I used two battery holders in series. * In order to put the bulb inside the tealight holder, I cut off the defuser and then cut around the base of the lamp. Hopefully, the photos show this clearly. * I printed a mantel/defuser that fits over the LED and sits inside the tealight holder. I've included the OpenSCAD file for the mantel as well as the STL, so you can modify it to match any differences in your bulb or indeed to fit a different lamp.
