LED Desk Lamp 2G

Here's another project from the scrap heap of walnut and oak


All of my projects are originally conceived because I'm not good at following other people's designs/plans.


A biscuit joinery, and angled mortise and tenon and flexible elbow connected by stainless steel bolt and knurled nut

A glue up jig makes for a precise set up

Router table shape the strip holder to a narrower profile.

 Oak and walnut 

A little bit of soldering connects the strip of LEDs from Elemental LED (available on the web)


The switch is a low voltage item from the auto supply store


LED strip lights come in a variety of color spectrum.  For the desk a "cool white" or warm white works very well.  LEDs turn on at full power without a nano second of delay, producing a fraction of the heat that other lamps have and will last many, many times over.

 The oak and walnut desk lamp complements the writing desk and filing cabinet I made for my wife a few years back, which were also made out of the same species.

LED Desk (strip) Lamp not only has a small foot print, it also eliminates the lamp shade overhang.
