Multipurpose light

This is my versatile lighting container I built for off-road use, and I employ the same one on the vessel for cephalopod angling. For comprehensive guidelines on fabrication, assembly, and essential components required, please refer to the instruction page.\n\n \n \n Guidelines\nFabricate in a strong ABS material, low infill ratio recommended.\nIf you plan to use it near water or under wet conditions, double-check that it's sealed against moisture by thoroughly assembling every part carefully.\nComponents required:\na set of white high-performance LED light bulbs commonly used in vehicles -https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2X-Car-Auto-120-LED-3528-SMD-H4-White-Fog-Light-Driving-Headlight-Lamp-Bulb-T1K-/380743681005?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item58a61783ed\nNote: disassemble the bulbs by pulling out the central LED base from their original holders and carefully disconnecting the internal resistor. Then, solder directly to the exposed terminals.\nA set of T10 W5W 7-watt high-powered Cree Q5 LEDs with 501-15 base connectors:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281242124418?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649\nNote - the same process applies here. Remove any obstructions in your way and carefully remove the protective cases.\nAutomatic lighting controller:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161139912199?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649\nOnce more, carefully disassemble the electronics package. Mount the PCB directly onto the aluminum plate located inside the enclosure of your new lighting unit and secure it firmly.\nA group of momentary switches to toggle lighting on and off as needed - these will be hooked up to desired inputs (example being connecting to main dimmer). Simply assemble everything properly and make sure it is completely watertight with a thin, strong silicone sealant applied in strategic places around the assembly. Add your glass plate facing forward with appropriate glues to finish sealing the device completely.\nUse Lexan sheet of required thickness or equivalent clear plastics and ensure the seal remains waterproof for best results with all electronics components protected accordingly.
