For quite some time I've been wanting a task lamp over my tinker area where I do electronics and design work. I needed the light to be flexible for different tasks, so I thought it would be perfect to design one with articulating arms.

This is one of the most insanely impressive things I've ever seen, wow. Is there anything you don't know how to build? You have incredible skills in so many areas. Unbelievable how good one can get at something with passion for it, and the brains and talent.
So nice, wish I could like it twice! I like your idea of using magnets to attach the lights, making them interchangeable without the need for rewiring. However, keep in mind that heat will destroy magnets and can cause glue to fail. In your case there may not be enough heat generated by the current flowing through the magnets to worry about. Just keep in mind that if your magnets or glue fails, check for heat issues. When I build a similar project, thanks to your inspiration, I plan to keep the interchangeability feature but position magnets out of the loop. As always, you are so awesome! Thanks!
It is this kind of DNA which you possess which makes this world a much better place. I wish I had neighbors like this. The use of a lapel mic and great audio levels are most beneficial. Again, all of this is a matter of DNA - a level of consciousness. Girl, you got it going on.
same here , she is soo much talented .
Very nicely made, the only thing I would add or change is to replace the clear acrylic sheet with a hazy mat one, to cast softer light and to distribute the light more evenly.
+XtrAMassivE I think that may be what she may have had in mind by making it attach magnetically. Good thought in any case.
Love it! Especially using the magnets to make the electrical connection. Very Apple MagSafesque. Well done, Linn.
AMAZING! I've had an idea for an articulating lamp / item holder bouncing around in my head for a few months now, and here's this video where you have it figured out! Very cool
Did you ever build it? I have a similar idea for holding my laptop when I'm lying in bed.
Ok, some paradigm shifts here, contact cement for gluing up plywood, never considered magnetic circuit connection, never used strip lights for a lamp, never considered a remote control for a lamp, and never thought to use wood as a segment for this application. But now that have seen this I have some ideas to make molded plywood fixtures. I have made formed plywood furniture in the past but always chairs, tables, cigar humidors, jewelry stands, makeup stands, tack boxes, aircraft cabinet and the like. But now I'm going to do some LED lamps, phone speaker boxes, notepad stands, and the list goes on. Thank you for doing this vedio.
This would be useful for film or photo lighting too, you could switch LED panels from cool white lighting to warm amber tones.
Or from a larger panel to a smaller more concentrated, fewer but brighter LEDs if you need to while working or something. This is definitely going on my Build list.
it would not be good for film or photography. LEDs have very poor color accuracy and unless you are using a very specific kind of LED, their color rendering is extremely poor.
That's a really neat lamp. I just bought a small battery operated, magnetized worklight that I can put onto my vice, mostly because it was cheap and because I don't have the workspace or tools to do more than soldering. I got a upgrade idea: why not make a stationary panel on the lamp with a magnet in each corner and several LED panels with magnets on the back corners, then connect the power wires to the magnets like you did with the little magnet connector, but now you could just pull the LED panel off and snap another one in its place without taking it off the lamp's arm. The four magnets would deliver the power from the lamp to the panel. Magnets are indeed great for this because they maintain a good and firm connection instead of relying on friction like normal connectors.
Nice build. The DIY mag safe connector is a cool addition, although indexing to avoid accidentally reversing the polarity would make a nice touch. Also, press the magnets, sharp blows to magnets can have detrimental effects on them. Again, cool build.
+Harold Hayes III Good catch on "tapping" the magnets. Heat is also another concern.
Doug Reed
Not to worry (Flinch.....lol) The hammer head is a non Magnetic...Non Metallic.....and is Lemon Flavored.....lol ...again !
Wonderful how led's make such super lights for tiny work like soldering/de-soldering surface mount components & no risk of broken glass as happens with tungsten, fluorescent or halogen lamps, nor the massive heating of halogens.
Only thing I'd add would be to have a piece of small dowel or even a piece of bamboo skewer sticking out of one half of the power coupler, and a corresponding hole on the other half to provide some polarity protection. Won't hurt the LED's, but I'm a belt-and-suspenders kind of guy. Might also round the corners of the panel, I could see myself getting poked in the eye if not. Otherwise, a spectacular project and one I'm going to make. Always looking for good ways to make a better LED lamp.
Awesome design Linn. I want to build one of those for my wife's desk. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for sharing
Roy
+Roy Wrenn Thanks Roy!
@@darbinorvar Did I miss the part about the power supply/power requirements/wall adapter for the lamp? I definitely feel like I'm missing something. Do you have detailed plans posted somewhere?
I couldn't catch the measurements and the drawing. Love this diy. The best among all similar videos.
Very, very cool, Linn! You're becoming an electrical wizard! Love it. Troy
+secondwind75 Don't you mean electrical witch? Sorry Linn, couldn't help it! ;)
Oh please don't get grumpy about a simple joke. I like Linn and her channel. She's absolutely brilliant in her woodworking and electrical stuff. It wasn't meant seriously, so let's not make this a big point...
This is great. Thanks so much for showing the magnet solution, it is the exact solution I was looking for for another project!
Awesome Project!!! Building a couple versions of this now that will work with a go pro and a LED light. Thanks for the continued inspiration!!
Linn, Very, very nice. Good construction, woodworking, engineering, planning and the video is well done. Very impressive.
Thank You
Most excellent, I love the high degree of articulation!!! Now, I've been told that running current through magnets will very slowly demagnetize them, but I have no personal experience proving this. I imagine for an application like this it'd be close to imperceptible, though.
I like how you update your intro to include parts from new videos. 👍
Simple but elegant. Well done.
Great idea with the magnet connectors!
+Tanel E Probably not a concern for this project, but keep in mind that heat will destroy magnets. I would probably have placed the magnets next to some sort of conductive pad.
Hermosa lampara y una mujer creativa y bonita.
Great job, Linn. Love the full articulation, a lot of the store bought task lamps always seem to never go to that *one* position, grrr.
I like it....thumbs up and brilliant idea with the magnets
Fun project, I love the use of magnets for the interchangeable protective sheets and lighting panels.
+Live Free and DIY Thanks Lew!
Darbin Orvar Awesome project.... Love your channel..... are those normal neodymium magnets ? ..... Can you share the purchasing link or details on the magnet
Beautiful work.
Fantastic piece of work and useful. Loved the articulating arm design very much. Maybe you would like to design a groove and slot at the magnet power switch to avoid wrong polarity connection (just my own thinking )
Cool project, I always like lamps!
Yeah they are very... enlightening!
cool build, linn! i love the magnet-powersupply solution-very clever!
+Laura Kampf Thanks Laura!
The magnetic electrical connections are genius. Never saw that before. Thanks!
+Rick Rose The reason people don't usually do that is because the heat from the soldering is de-magnetizing. But if you're ok with weak magnets holding the connector - go ahead.
@@nvmnvm8821 nah. Heat is localised and very temporary. Have done this with no loss of magnetism
Wow, what a fantastic build!! Thank you for taking the time and effort to make and upload this!! I'm new at electronics but slowly learning - could you do a quick video sometime about the lights and connections you did in this light project please. I struggle to understand why you had a long roll but cut a small portion and it still worked without burning out? The arm is just perfect - I was looking for ideas to make one!! Keep up the brilliant work, your channel is great and you have a very good way of explaining things!! 😊😊
Super nice job! I sure do enjoy your projects and design solutions.
Great project idea for your tinker corner! You will now be known as "Tinker Bell".. Lol.. Looking forward to your next project!
Sharp idea with the electromagnetic circuitry! As the LEDs are by far the most expense component to this build, I would love to see that LED panel made easily detachable from the articulating arm so that you could move it to any number of other articulating arms around the house. Maybe you could use, I don't know, magnets maybe as the connection point ;)
Now add the function to pan or tilt the head left to right - then you got a really utility workbench light. There are instances where you want to target on an object which is vertical and not flat, the light would be able to pan vertically to accommodate focusing lighting on an object which is located in a vertical undercut and is also on the vertical axis. Where there is an object in the vertical plane, you would then change the light head to a smaller one so that the light source is in front of your tools and hands. Otherwise the head you show here would be in back of your hands. Your hand would then block the lighting from that panel. So having an articulating floating arm which can also pan in both directions with a smaller head is needed.
This is exactly what I was looking for!
very nice tutorial, good job
That looks cool and easy to make
Well Done Darbin! neat lamp!
Nice job, Linn. We could use this lamp for work on the lathe, also. I love your magnetic power connections, brilliant!
this is actually a really great build for once keep up the good work
Very cool , great job,👍
Hello
It's a good job . You can add a frame to cover the space around the LED's.
It's just an idea.
amazing job
Le quedó excelente, muy práctica y funcional, una mujer muy hermosa e inteligente
awesome project!! mad skills!
+Matt Diresta Thanks Matt!
Brilliant!!! Excellent Design.
Fantastic work, great video, amazing skills! I'll try to make me similar lamp for my drawing and modelling table. Thank You!
Sei semplicemente geniale . Complimenti !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congratulations. nice project. I like it. a little advice; led lamp so heating. Therefore; you must use aluminium heatsink to behind.
I was thinking the same thing. Also, is this a DC only lamp? Did she mention a wall adapter/power supply and I missed it?
Cool LED Fixture
Nice project!
It is awesome to see a woman doing traditionally man's work. Continue your amazing work!
I'm really impressed! Bravo!
Cool project. I'd not use so many joints though. The same effect can be achieved with three joints
come si permettono di mettere dei "non mi piace"?? sei bravissima Lynn... complimenti
The wire connection with magnets was brilliant! :O I am definetely going to use that one - and I actually have been thinking some kind of quick release connector for one future project. But I wouldn't never thought of trying that. Thanks!
I think I want to try this but with a panel in the shape of a ring. Always got frustrated when I'm working on something small and I couldn't get up close to it because my head was in the way of my lamp.
Linn this is an amazing project, tnx for sharing it with the entire world....!!! :D
I love it!!!! where is the template? :(
super cool
Love the idea of magnets as conductors.
+Edward Iglesias I like that as well, however I would be concerned about heat destroying the magnets. There probably isn't enough being generated in this design, but it is probably worth keeping in mind in general.
Is it hard to change out LED panels like you created if something burns out? Do you think there is a place for this kind of lighting for home over head lights in the kitchen, dining room or bedroom? What kind of fancy shapes would you make for wall or ceiling lights?
i am not sure how those joints can handle the weight at the same shape i want it to be in time. I would expect it to start failing against gravity every some mins. But if that happens to be the case placing rubber washers could help. Cool looking lamp overall. Need to build one and for sure I am going to make use of your idea while building mine, like the magnet connection. Thank you.
Your work is always perfect 👍😁
Loved the video... Just suggesting maybe a keyed polarized plug instead of the magnets would accomplish the same goal (easy fast switching of light sets) and also prevent any accidental shorting and cost less than magnets.... Thanks for doing video... Dave
Proper articulation!
Nice Project!!!
Great design!!!!
Hello Linn. Great video! I would really appreciate if you could give more information on the joints and how much loosening or adjustments you have to do to move/fix the lamp to some position. Thanks.
no heatsink for those led strips? or at least a metal backing?
i like your magnet power solution!
No, you're awesome Lyn
How safe is the magnetic power connection ion? If you remove the light are the wires hot? Thanks
oh I love it
I'd have been strongly tempted to extend the arms past the joints and add a counterweight
That would only be necessary if you had a spring articulated lamp, not a friction fit one.
Jag var tvungen att kolla din blogg för att kolla att du var svenska.. Jättefin engelska men små saker avslöja dig allt ;) Älskade lampan! Jättefin!
Enjoy the Scandinavian look to most of your projects, however where is your CNC for some these projects? Would have been neat for the arms and knobs. Keep up the great projects!
What temperature color is the LED strip you were using?
"I do declare" - Articulate Lamp
+Karan Trivedi LOL... so punny!
:D
nice build! I would suggest placing the leds with a certain offset... not in straight rows/columns, for better light uniformity
+Francesco Bianchi The great thing about her design is the "lens" cover is magnetic and can be easily changed out depending on light requirements.
awesome project! If you increased the space between the strip lights and the acrylic sheet then you could have a tablet holder for your bedroom.
Linn: I like the magnet connector, but you might have added a peg + slightly oversized hole on one side so that the couldn't be connected backwards.
+xKatjaxPurrsx Thanks, the way I solved that was to make like poles repel so that you cannot connect it any other way.
That's brilliant.
+Darbin Orvar Okey i have to "steal" that idea to my own projects! Just curious, what type of magnets these were and is there any special trick on soldering the wires on? Also have you tested that magnet connector wont cause amps to rise due possible poor connection (i mean its not like any standard connector and lose ones cause the connector just heat up if connection is poor) ?
I did not get why Linn did that till she pulled out the second panel.. and then it was like.. "Oohh, she is smart! ... and a touch of indecisive." :-)
Great light. Did you think of making the perspex frosted for a more diffused light?
I made something smilier I used alternating LED strips between worm and cold light and add a dimer to the 2 power feeds so you can adjust the light output nice build your wood work is grate mine I attached it to a old lamp stand not as nice I think I will mod mine with the magnets thanks for the share
How do you figure out the proper power supply if you want to use a wall adapter? She didn't seem to mention that part.
You... I like you.
Very nice lamp and workshop.
2 questions......1) what's the point of the magnetic plexi over the LEDs? 2) when soldering to those magnets, do they need to be those high power neodymium magnets? Thanks!
I love this light, especially since you can add sections. I have a situation where I want to put my lamp behind my computer screen and bring the lamp head over the top.
I like the magnet connection idea.....
I love Darbin's things! Hehe
Very good!
Hello Linn. I would really appreciate if you could give more information on the joints and how much loosening or adjustments you have to do to move or fix the lamp to some position. Thanks.
Lamp was to create a wonderful, dear, you make the upload template, so good
Love it! that is a great project!
great project!
My kind of girl who knows her way around the shop.....great design idea. Time for a belt sander
Linn, I see you are using a remote to control the light. But I was noticing that the magnetic connection could function quite well as a manual switch on its own; assuming you don't need a dimmer. As always, great build.
Nice design, nice project, great video... thanks for sharing. :-)
I'm afraid you didn't add any security or guide to prevent the plus to be connected to the minus. Maybe adding a diode to the magnet system is a good idea.
