Homemade LED Spotlight - Assembly Instructions

Step 1 - Choosing a Case

The easiest way is to assemble the LED spotlight from the Chinese halogen model yourself. This is due to the fact that it will not be necessary to reinvent the body and reflector. After spending 200 to purchase a low-quality street lamp, you will only have to replace the lamp with an LED. This will allow you to enjoy the bright glow of an economical and durable spotlight.

By the way, you can search for a separate case in a specialized store. Perhaps the cost of the product will be even lower than that of a halogen lamp.

If you decide to make a powerful LED spotlight yourself, which will also get very hot, we recommend that you take additional care of heat dissipation. To do this, you can either find an aluminum radiator and fix it, or make a completely aluminum box, as in the photo below.

Step 2 - Pick Up the Lamp

As for the lamp for a homemade LED spotlight, the easiest way to buy it. Power for street lighting must be at least 30 watts. However, a separate purchase of the housing and LED bulbs may come out not very cheap. That is why we recommend making the lamp yourself. The advantage is that you can assemble a light bulb with a power supply of 220 or 12 volts. In the first case, this will allow you to connect the lamp directly to the network. About, how to make an LED lamp at home We talked, we advise you to familiarize yourself. If you wish, you can also make a light bulb from an old energy-saving one, from individual LEDs or even from a single-color LED strip, as in the photo below.
