Custom extra weird trashy lamp build. Blue orb with green pulsars

This slightly shady lamp (exposed live connections on the LED holders) was just made for fun out of random things from eBay.
It was also an opportunity to answer more of the questions asked by Patreons.
This was also shamelessly a "therapy" project for me while I get over a bug that I picked up while visiting Glasgow. (I'm feeling a lot better now.)

I mentioned Steve Summers' struggle with workshop subsidence. Here's a video about that:-

And his gofundme to help towards the repair costs:-

Keeping in mind that this LED lamp is not quite safety compliant (not suitable for a first project or around kids) you can get the parts for it on eBay using the following search links:-

The lamp kit that got repurposed:-

The set of pre-terminated crimp connectors:-

Guide price around $4 for a set of 50.

5mm flickering effect LEDs:-
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=100pcs+flickering+5mm+leds&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_sop=15
Guide price around $7 for a pack of 100.

5mm diffused LEDs:-

Guide price around $2 for a pack of 100.

Remember that the flickering LED is in parallel with the matching LED in the base, so the technology (forward voltage) will have to be the same. Blue, white, green are 3V and yellow and red are 2V.

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
