LED tree

4 Feb 2019

I would like to present a tree made from 15 white warm LEDs, winding wire and powered from USB. Each LED is soldered to two winding wires and protected by white heat-shrink tubing. I used this wires with LEDs it to form branches and trunk of tree. All LEDs are connected parallel and have a proper resistors to limit current for each. Tree trunk was putted to aluminium case from taken from candle and glued with hot-melt. It is really simple construction but final effect it is quite nice. Here are more photos:

Here is short video presentation:

kk99,

A really imaginative use of a few simple LEDs and bits of wire. I'm impressed. It is something that I might think about making a version of for next Christmas. I would have to make it battery powered and smart so it turned on at dusk and then off some time later (to save the batteries). Or maybe just operate randomly once dusk has arrived.

Thank you. I think that using of a RGB LEDs should also improve final effect.
