Bedside Lamp (Tube), LED 12V, 2.5W

This is a further development of the bedside lamp with the box shape https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/20852-bedside-lamp-box-led-12v-25w. Now this lamp had become a tube shape and you can print the backside as switch or dimmer version. Whereby I have to say that my dimmable version dims only partially. But at least two brightness levels are available.

I have tried to capture the working steps and the assembly in photos. The assembly is in most parts identical with "Bedside Lamp (Box)". A look at the photo gallery there might help additionally.

For this project you will need:

1x … Ø 65mm white polycarbonate glass 3mm thick, 70% translucency
1x … Ø 4x55mm from a threaded rod (or screw Ø m4 x 60 and saw of the screw head)
1x … Ø 4x45mm from a threaded rod (or screw Ø m4 x 50 and saw of the screw head)
2x … Ø M3x20mm + plus 2 matching washers (to connect head, neck and light base)
4x … wing nuts Ø 4mm
10x … washers Ø 15x4,5mm
5x … self-tapping screws Ø 2,2 x9,5mm
(4x … self-adhesive rubber pads Ø 8x1,6mm)

AC/DC Socket 5,5/2,1 mm
4G bulb socket
2 Position Mini Toggle Switch
4G bulb 2,5W/250Lm (IMPORTANT!: I do not advise the installation of a higher wattage bulb, because of too much heat development!)
12 V AC/DC power adapter

The files must be printed in the following number of copies:

1x BSL_Tube_head.stl
1x BSL_Tube_light_socket.stl
1x BSL_Tube_neck.stl
1x BSL_Tube_back_dimm.stl
1x BSL_Tube_dimmswitch.stl
or
1x BSL_Tube_back_switch.stl
2x BSL_Tube_foot.stl
2x BSL_Tube_leg.stl
1x BSL_Tube_spacerwasher.stl

After completion of the assembly I recommend - to improve the slip resistance - to attach small self-adhesive rubber pads to the bottom of the lamp feet (4x rubber pads Ø 8x1,6mm).
