Laser Cut MR16 LED Desk Lamp

thingiverse

A custom desk lamp design is presented here, drawn for laser cutting using a Trotec Speedy 100R. The lamp features a swivel base, adjustable arm with pivot angle, and a fully tiltable lamp that can rotate through 180 degrees and swivel 360 degrees. All files are in Corel Draw X5 format. The designer opted for an MR16 12V 3W LED bulb instead of halogen due to heat concerns. Files include CDR X5 files with a sheet size of 600mmx300mm, using black for engraving, red as primary cutlines, and blue as secondary cutlines. A PDF includes artwork for a commercially available 12V PSU adaptor, which was used by breaking the case. Some parts are doubled up for extra strength, with either 6mm or 4mm holes drilled. Nylon locknuts, flat washers, and cap screws were used for assembly. A figure 8 AC PCB mount socket is fitted within glued together pieces of 3mm material. A standard press-fit rocker switch is used for the recessed on/off switch, with outer pieces of 3mm perspex accommodating the switch dimensions. The designer encourages sharing improvements or customizations of this design and suggests using hardware stores for spring clips to hold the MR16 lamp in place.
