Forgot to upload these from ages ago.....

Garden lighting run off a battery charged by a 30w solar panel... well thats the plan, this is the first of many

Let me know what you think.

I was expecting this to be a thread about a car problem :coat

Couldn't you have found longer brass screws?

I thought that. Then i mused that they may be a form of spacer so that the LED did not bottom out on the Bonne Mammon strawberry preserve jar. Then i decided that he may not have a hacksaw to hand

 

[Blue Duck]

All positive so far :innocent

Could have found some more m4's or cut them down but thought they looked fine as they were any longer and I'd have to find a different brand of jam.

Hacksaw! lol that's for cutting pvc trunking not m4's :slap

Yeah they were a kind of spacer but when I put everything together they didn't do much.

The lamps are 3w fog lights all the way from PRC cost £3 for 2 with free p&p and they are really bright!

And the jam would have been St dal four :innocent

Perhaps ducks a long lost relative of OnOff?

Duck Off?

 

[Blue Duck]

Duck Off?

That's what kerching keeps telling Me to do :slap

What can I say, I like making stuff too, although his approach is more measured. I tend to bodge stuff together and worry about the measuring later

We went to the local Takeaway last night

Wife ordered Crispy Duck

Waitress said "Duck off",,,,,,,,,I canard-ly believe it

 

[Sidewinder]

I would have thought you could mallardly believe it!

You must have Smew something was wrong as the first waitress refused to Teal with your order, but that 's what you get if you order Hainan Barbary Anas platyrhynchos.

We asked 'where is the Ruddy Duck'. She suggested we went to the local Indian Takeaway and got some Bombay Duck.

We smelt something fishy

 

[Richard-the-Ninth]

Condensation in the jar?

 

[M107]

Nope LED in the jar

 

[Richard-the-Ninth]

Sorry, if I missed any joke.

I am meaning that as its a jam jar and its going to be used outside there will be air temperature difference between inside of the jar and outside of the jar, so condensation will form inside the jar and so over time fill it with water. I didn't mean heat given off by any lamp. (although there may be a heatsink)

And as my first introduction to Indians some 30+ years ago when i was told by an Indian Connoisseur....

There are only two things that taste like bombay duck.....

Just Indian-ing......

I think they are made from old socks marinated in dogs uri.........

Anyway back int he 70s I was being educated at Uni In salford, going out with a lovely Physio student from Salford Tech

Took,her to an Indian in ardwick , blue fountain I think. Pulled up outside in my Ford Capri ( I know, envy all around). Bloke ran out, vomitted all over the bonnet of my Mk ll, wiped it off with his sleeve, went back in and carried on eating!....RESPECT

Thank you Richard. this is why I put it up! When I first tested it there was some condensation, I assumed it was to do with being in the house then goin out in the cold.

I wasn't sure if this would continue in ongoing service but it seems obvious now.

How to go about fixing this though?

You say a heat sink but there will still be a temperature difference. think it needs air cooling but that would mess up the IP rating.

Silica gel perhaps?

niced bit of up-cycling, we fitted a very expensive light fitting last year, imported from america which seem to consist of sweetie jars on the end of old black conduit, cost £2k....you need to bill your self as an 'artisit'

 

[Blue Duck]

Cheers Binky

My friend spotted a tabLe lamp made from galvanised conduit, the materials must have cost a tenner & they were going for £250!
