Simple workshop lamp for battery form 18v metabo drill.
To assemble this project you need:
M3 x 20 - 4pcs (for bottom part)
M3 x 10 - 4pcs (for top part)
Adjustable step down module (I use LM2596)
Male wire connector 6.3mm - 2pcs https://www.amazon.com/Baomain-disconnects-Insulated-Connector-Electrical/dp/B01G51ELT8/ref=sr_1_13?dchild=1&keywords=male+crimp+6.3mm&qid=1606804924&sr=8-13
Power switch (I use switch from old machine so the hole might be to tight for your switches but you can grind a little bit)
Led Lamp for example this one: https://www.amazon.com/Liteway-2Pcs-LED-Work-Light/dp/B07D8P6914/ref=sr_1_23?dchild=1&keywords=12v+led+lamp&qid=1606803700&sr=8-23
some wires, hot glue and 2 part epoxy glue.
ATTENTION:
Some of led lamp work only in specyfic voltage. I used a 12V lamp so I need step-down module. If you buy lamp with voltage range you probably don't need to use this module.
When you use step-down module check twice output voltage. If you set it wrong you can broke the lamp.
ASSEMBLY:
Print all three parts and check if bottom part fits
Put the two connectors on the two wires and squeeze. I suggest to use red and black wire to do not mix up the polarity.
Put wires in to the hole. Connectors should protrude about 6mm from the hole.
Put the bottom part on the battery and check is there voltage on the wires
Mix epoxy glue, prime the hole and let it dry.
Connect the cables to the conventer and switch. Don't forget to put the wires through the hole for the switch.
Check voltage output in step-down module.
Pass the lamp cable through the hole on the top part and solder lamp wires to module.
Check if everything works and glue the converters inside the housing.
