Retrofitting LEDs into a desk lamp
I changed a desk lamp I already had to use LEDs instead of the CFL tube. I mainly did that because I wanted to do something “crafty” and because I like LEDs and how their light comes with almost no heat.
Of course the LEDs also use less power than the original CFL did. The CFL was using 9W while LEDs now are only using 2.4W and still giving comparable light output.
Anyone interested on what I used and how I did it, have a look at my Instructable where I detailed all the steps. To read the step by step account go to: http://www.instructables.com/id/Retro_Fit_a_Desk_Lamp_with_LEDs/

I like it. I need to craft that for my son’s desk. I just took some solar lights for the garden to replace some of the flood lights that my wife placed around the home, and that has worked out well.
