Led Lamp Steps 8-10

STEP 8 - Cement the rest of the spacers on all of the panels removing any globs of cement and also checking for a good bond when dried. Applied properly PVC cement melts the plastic and creates a very strong bond when cured.

STEP 9 - Assemble the two side, bottom and back panels using cement and let dry. Make sure the panels are square to each other by using a square wood block and a flat surface. Place the larger panel on the flat surface, apply cement to the smaller panel and place into position hold the smaller panel square against the wood block. PVC cement dries fairly quickly and will hold after about 60 seconds. Cement the small guides into each corner.

STEP 10 - Insert the 12 LEDs into the front panel paying attention to proper polarity. If the LEDs are new the leads should be cut to about 8mm and bent outward at the ends. Place a small dab of super glue around the base of each LED on the inner surface of the front panel.
