LED Marquee Light

thingiverse

Something that's been hanging in my notebook for a while now, and I thought I'd test my modeling skills. It's a base and lens combo for a Marquee-style light fixture replacement instead of using a screw-in bulb - the bulb gets mounted in the base, and the lens is just a diffuser to give it the appearance of a bulb. I haven't put holes in yet for the LED, but I've thought about making a socket; however, I'll likely just solder them to leads because of the low volume I'm producing. Print the lens in clear plastic and the base in whatever material you prefer. The screw hole is for standard drywall screws. I added a diffusion cone internally on Globe B - it's untested yet, but I think it will need some internal lens above it to spread the light back to the globe better. Globe D has hopefully better diffusion; I'm printing it without infill because the code engine (Makerware) got confused about where to put it and it doesn't need any. Base C has holes updated for 5mm LED and a pathway for wiring.
