Magnetic lamp on Coffee Roaster

The following steps were taken to create the mobile magnetic lamp, made of wood and aluminum:

  • The housing contains two lithium batteries connected in parallel and a constant current source chip. A 3-watt LED is located on the front.
  • An aluminum bracket is located at the end of the lamp. Glue two samarium-cobalt disc magnets into it.
  • The battery cover is also closed with magnets.
  • The staples are also located on this cover.
  • The bracket is made of aluminum so that the entire lamp is not magnetic.
  • The magnets are each attached with opposite poles, once with the north pole side and once with the south pole side, to improve the magnetic holding force.
