This project is a simple fixed-colour garden feature-light designed to add a splash of colour to foliage.

This garden feature is rated PEGI 18 and contains one use of strong language.
I like this result. It’s a modification to a Poundland aluminium torch / flashlight that uses it to power a single 1W LED via a couple of resistors. It’s intended to provide low level colourful illumination of a garden feature for around 10 hours or more continuously on a set of three AA NiMh (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable cells rated around 2000mAh. (Or a set of alkaline cells.)
Perfect for one-night garden or other rural events.
Yes I screwed up, but on this channel we don’t edit out the bad bits. You get to see everything. In this case I had soldered the pads of a 1W LED bead onto a star mounting plate and the solder had not flowed under the pad. I was trying a new way to fix the LEDs on the PCBs and it turns out that it wasn’t ideal.
