Lamp project

School project to design and build a lamp

My mum wanted a minimalist design such that the lamp will fit in our living room

The image below shows the 3 studs which tightly fits into three holes in the base

The LED halo lights I am using must be programmed using a block editor on Microsoft Make Code. The device requires 3x AAA batteries as seen on the left. I mounted these on the bottom of a plate to be easily accessible for the future maintenance as seen below. The lights can also be set to change colour over time or be paused on a specific colour by pressing both buttons at the same time. The left and right buttons increase or decrease the brightness or speed of the colour change, this setting is changed by shaking the lamp.
