That LED Lamp is Awesome for Christmas!



More of my post, the coming weeks well be all about Christmas. Who doesn’t like Christmas eh? It’s the time of the year where you receive present and lots of food. What I love about Christmas is the Filipino tradition of “Simbang Gabi”. We would wake up early dawn, around 3 o’clock so we can attend the mass. There are going to be lots of lights on the streets. And on the church, it will be full of decorations, Christmas lights and the Nativity scene; it’s one of my favorite parts in the church on Christmas season.

So as I was checking all the decorations and lightings of the church, I was so interested in this one lamp. I was thinking that it was not an ordinary lamp because it stands out with the rest of the lighting. It turns out, the lamp was custom made.  I was so eager to know how it was made since I want to have that lamp as decoration in my house this Christmas. I found this guide while searching the web. It’s a guide on how to create an ultra bright LED lamp from scratch. With a little electronics knowledge, I’ll be able to get my hands dirty on this and have some awesome lamp.



The ultra-bright while LED lamp works on 230V AC with minimal power consumption. It can be used to illuminate VU meters, SWR meters, etc. These LEDs emit a 1000-6000mCd bright white light like welding arc and work on 3 volts, 10 mA. Their maximum voltage is 3.6 volts and the current is 25 mA. Anti-static precautions should be taken when handling the LEDs.
