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.
