This is one of the most insanely impressive things I've ever seen, wow. Is there anything you don't know how to build? You have incredible skills in so many areas. Unbelievable how good one can get at something with passion for it, and the brains and talent.

Love it! Especially using the magnets to make the electrical connection. Very Apple MagSafesque. Well done, Linn.

So nice, wish I could like it twice! I like your idea of using magnets to attach the lights, making them interchangeable without the need for rewiring. However, keep in mind that heat will destroy magnets and can cause glue to fail. In your case there may not be enough heat generated by the current flowing through the magnets to worry about. Just keep in mind that if your magnets or glue fails, check for heat issues. When I build a similar project, thanks to your inspiration, I plan to keep the interchangeability feature but position magnets out of the loop. As always, you are so awesome! Thanks!

AMAZING! I've had an idea for an articulating lamp / item holder bouncing around in my head for a few months now, and here's this video where you have it figured out! Very cool

Super nice job! I sure do enjoy your projects and design solutions.

This is great. Thanks so much for showing the magnet solution, it is the exact solution I was looking for for another project!

Awesome Project!!! Building a couple versions of this now that will work with a go pro and a LED light. Thanks for the continued inspiration!!

Linn, Very, very nice. Good construction, woodworking, engineering, planning and the video is well done. Very impressive. Thank You

Very nicely made, the only thing I would add or change is to replace the clear acrylic sheet with a hazy mat one, to cast softer light and to distribute the light more evenly.

+XtrAMassivE I think that may be what she may have had in mind by making it attach magnetically. Good thought in any case.

Great job, Linn. Love the full articulation, a lot of the store bought task lamps always seem to never go to that *one* position, grrr.

I couldn't catch the measurements and the drawing. Love this diy. The best among all similar videos.

Wow, what a fantastic build!! Thank you for taking the time and effort to make and upload this!! I'm new at electronics but slowly learning - could you do a quick video sometime about the lights and connections you did in this light project please. I struggle to understand why you had a long roll but cut a small portion and it still worked without burning out? The arm is just perfect - I was looking for ideas to make one!! Keep up the brilliant work, your channel is great and you have a very good way of explaining things!! 😊😊

Oh please don't get grumpy about a simple joke. I like Linn and her channel. She's absolutely brilliant in her woodworking and electrical stuff. It wasn't meant seriously, so let's not make this a big point...

It is this kind of DNA which you possess which makes this world a much better place. I wish I had neighbors like this. The use of a lapel mic and great audio levels are most beneficial. Again, all of this is a matter of DNA - a level of consciousness. Girl, you got it going on.

Darbin Orvar Awesome project.... Love your channel..... are those normal neodymium magnets ? ..... Can you share the purchasing link or details on the magnet

this is actually a really great build for once keep up the good work

Most excellent, I love the high degree of articulation!!! Now, I've been told that running current through magnets will very slowly demagnetize them, but I have no personal experience proving this. I imagine for an application like this it'd be close to imperceptible, though.

Simple but elegant. Well done.

Well Done Darbin! neat lamp!

I like how you update your intro to include parts from new videos. 👍

I'm really impressed! Bravo!

Nice job, Linn. We could use this lamp for work on the lathe, also. I love your magnetic power connections, brilliant!

Beautiful work.

I like it....thumbs up and brilliant idea with the magnets

Wonderful how led's make such super lights for tiny work like soldering/de-soldering surface mount components & no risk of broken glass as happens with tungsten, fluorescent or halogen lamps, nor the massive heating of halogens.

Linn this is an amazing project, tnx for sharing it with the entire world....!!! :D

This would be useful for film or photo lighting too, you could switch LED panels from cool white lighting to warm amber tones. Or from a larger panel to a smaller more concentrated, fewer but brighter LEDs if you need to while working or something. This is definitely going on my Build list.

@user-xl9yd7ef1w

it would not be good for film or photography. LEDs have very poor color accuracy and unless you are using a very specific kind of LED, their color rendering is extremely poor.

Great project idea for your tinker corner! You will now be known as "Tinker Bell".. Lol.. Looking forward to your next project!

Nice build. The DIY mag safe connector is a cool addition, although indexing to avoid accidentally reversing the polarity would make a nice touch. Also, press the magnets, sharp blows to magnets can have detrimental effects on them. Again, cool build.

That's a really neat lamp. I just bought a small battery operated, magnetized worklight that I can put onto my vice, mostly because it was cheap and because I don't have the workspace or tools to do more than soldering. I got a upgrade idea: why not make a stationary panel on the lamp with a magnet in each corner and several LED panels with magnets on the back corners, then connect the power wires to the magnets like you did with the little magnet connector, but now you could just pull the LED panel off and snap another one in its place without taking it off the lamp's arm. The four magnets would deliver the power from the lamp to the panel. Magnets are indeed great for this because they maintain a good and firm connection instead of relying on friction like normal connectors.

Your work is always perfect 👍😁

Fantastic work, great video, amazing skills! I'll try to make me similar lamp for my drawing and modelling table. Thank You!

This is exactly what I was looking for!

Very cool , great job,👍

Only thing I'd add would be to have a piece of small dowel or even a piece of bamboo skewer sticking out of one half of the power coupler, and a corresponding hole on the other half to provide some polarity protection. Won't hurt the LED's, but I'm a belt-and-suspenders kind of guy. Might also round the corners of the panel, I could see myself getting poked in the eye if not. Otherwise, a spectacular project and one I'm going to make. Always looking for good ways to make a better LED lamp.

The magnetic electrical connections are genius. Never saw that before. Thanks!

Nice project!

Sharp idea with the electromagnetic circuitry! As the LEDs are by far the most expense component to this build, I would love to see that LED panel made easily detachable from the articulating arm so that you could move it to any number of other articulating arms around the house. Maybe you could use, I don't know, magnets maybe as the connection point ;)

Hello Linn. Great video! I would really appreciate if you could give more information on the joints and how much loosening or adjustments you have to do to move/fix the lamp to some position. Thanks.

Nice Project!!!

Great design!!!!

amazing job

That looks cool and easy to make

Nice job!

Fantastic piece of work and useful. Loved the articulating arm design very much. Maybe you would like to design a groove and slot at the magnet power switch to avoid wrong polarity connection (just my own thinking )

great project!

Loved the video... Just suggesting maybe a keyed polarized plug instead of the magnets would accomplish the same goal (easy fast switching of light sets) and also prevent any accidental shorting and cost less than magnets.... Thanks for doing video... Dave

Hello It's a good job . You can add a frame to cover the space around the LED's. It's just an idea.

+Edward Iglesias I like that as well, however I would be concerned about heat destroying the magnets. There probably isn't enough being generated in this design, but it is probably worth keeping in mind in general.

Great light. Did you think of making the perspex frosted for a more diffused light?

i am not sure how those joints can handle the weight at the same shape i want it to be in time. I would expect it to start failing against gravity every some mins. But if that happens to be the case placing rubber washers could help. Cool looking lamp overall. Need to build one and for sure I am going to make use of your idea while building mine, like the magnet connection. Thank you.

Is it hard to change out LED panels like you created if something burns out? Do you think there is a place for this kind of lighting for home over head lights in the kitchen, dining room or bedroom? What kind of fancy shapes would you make for wall or ceiling lights?

Genius!

Now add the function to pan or tilt the head left to right - then you got a really utility workbench light. There are instances where you want to target on an object which is vertical and not flat, the light would be able to pan vertically to accommodate focusing lighting on an object which is located in a vertical undercut and is also on the vertical axis. Where there is an object in the vertical plane, you would then change the light head to a smaller one so that the light source is in front of your tools and hands. Otherwise the head you show here would be in back of your hands. Your hand would then block the lighting from that panel. So having an articulating floating arm which can also pan in both directions with a smaller head is needed.

Needs a couple swivel connectors to really give it full range of motion. How do you go about calculating the power requirements and doing the power supply/wall wart?

Proper articulation!

amazing lamp fair play, really want to build one for myself. where do get your LED strip lights from?

great work! I was just wondering if it would be possible to use a store bought cone head instead of a flat custom made one, since I'd prefer a bulb, no offense.

Do you find that the adhesive on the LED strips "lets go" when they get warm? I ask because my strips always seem to stop sticking after the LEDs have been on for a couple of hours. Dabs of hot-glue seems to hold much better and longer.

Hi. I found your project very nice but i came out with a question. Where did you put de led transformer and how the whole thing is conected to energy! Thanks,

Cool project. I'd not use so many joints though. The same effect can be achieved with three joints

Do the magnets conduct electricity? or does this only work because of the metallic finish on rare earth magnets?

no heatsink for those led strips? or at least a metal backing?
