Tiny Lantern

This is a tiny lantern with LED lighting. Perfect for spicing up these cold months with some holiday coziness!

There are three different versions of this, one powered by 3x AAA batteries, one powered by a lithium battery and one with a removable base for small led candles. The lantern measures about 130x70x70mm.

The assembling process of the AAA-powered version is described in the video. If you want to make the lithium version, it's mostly the same process only there's a few different parts, they are packed separately in a zip-folder. You also have to run some more cables as there's a charging module to feed as well. The easiest way would be to connect the LEDs ground wire directly to the charging module in the bottom of the lantern, this way you only have to run five wires to the top . Three in one cable duct GND, I/O for the LED, and VCC to the sensor. two in the other duct, VCC and GND for the battery (see the schematics above). The models have two ducts for running wires from the bottom to the top.

To build the AAA-battery model you need:

• 3xAAA batteries
• 1x TTP223 touch sensor
• 1x LED candle
• 1x resistor (if needed)
• Thin wiring
• 1x ball point pen spring cut into three pieces
• 2x thin pieces of metal 7x15mm
• 2x thin pieces of metal 7x29mm

To build the Lithium-battery model you need:

• 1x lithium battery (i used a 8x35x53mm battery, so that's the maximum size)
• 1x TP4056 Charging module
• 1x TTP223 Touch sensor
• 1x LED candle
• 1x resistor (if needed)
• Thin wiring
