    DIY wall lamp
    The wall clock has served faithfully for many years. After a breakdown, I decided to give them a second life.
    Dismantled the watch, removed the hands and mechanism, removed the dial. In a plastic base, I drilled 13 holes for 8 power LEDs, 4 LEDs d 8 mm and one LED power 1 W on the radiator. I fixed bulbs in superglue holes (photo 1). Since they are all of the same voltage (according to 3,5 V), connected them in parallel.
    For the current stabilizer, I connected the finished LM 317 block to the circuit (photo 2) (can be ordered on the Internet), and to turn on the lamp, I connected a 12 V power supply to the output of the last I. I replaced the cooling radiator with a more powerful one on the finished LM 317 block, so that it does not overheat. He assembled the watch case and pasted a matte film onto the glass (photo 3) Now the “walkers” hang on the wall as before, but they’re not measuring the time already, but lighting up the room.

    On the landing often there are interruptions in lighting and this situation is familiar to many tenants of high-rise buildings. In the dark corridor to get the key into the keyhole is the whole problem. To solve it, applied a little trick.
    I bought a small flashlight with batteries and installed it in the door frame at the level of the lock. To do this, I drew an installation diagram (see fig. On page 14). The diameter and length of the flashlight in the riser door frame drilled hole d 10 mm and depth 45 mm. I tried to install the flashlight in the "socket" - it did not work, the power button interferes, which, when pressed, does not hide completely.

    He dug a file under the button with a needle file and the flashlight entered the hole. He took it back, measured the distance from the end with the lens to the button, and drilled a hole in the bar. Screw the switch on top of this hole (picked up from a broken toy) (see photo), set the flashlight again - the backlight is ready. Now, to get the key to the lock, simply press the button, the main thing in time to change the batteries.
