Vigdis' train room

[Svein]

After a summer filled with outdoor activities it's once again time to head indoors to continue some of our smaller scale projects. A while back we ordered a lighing kit from Ngineering, put together specifically for this model, with 20 micro LEDs and both hanging lamps and wall lamps, and today Vigdis began to practice soldering the LEDs and creating the wall lamps. The practicing is done with inexpensive yellow LEDs, before she moves on to the much more expensive yellow-white LEDs that eventually will be used for the roundhouse lights.

Here are two of the LEDs, just about the smallest things I've ever seen..!:



We bought a small LED holding tool for the soldering job:



And a jig for bending the gooseneck wall lamps:



And here's her first lamp, temporary fastened to the roundhouse and hooked up with a 9V battery. The lamp shade wasn't fixed to the gooseneck as this was just a first try, so it managed to fall off the flange just when the pic was taken:
