DRILL PRESS LIGTH FROM SCRAP
It's a very brigth led ligth that can be made from parts taked out from a broken lamp, a magnet rescued from a old speaker , you only have to buy a bunch of leds,17 exactly
Materials
FIRST OF ALL YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFULL HANDLING 110 OR 220 VOLTS ALTERNATE CURRENT IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH RISK OF LIFE,SO TAKE YOUR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND NEVER WORK ON THE DEVICE WHEN IT IS PLUGGED IN.
Electronics parts obtained from a low consumption lamp(watch out ,the bulb is constructed with very dangerous and poisonous gasses,take your precautions)
The speaker magnet will fix the ligth to the drill press(or any electric machine that needs light )
Top and bottom of a deodorant can,they give support to the leds

Electronics
From the broken lamp we can obtain the materials for the source:
.047 uf (designed 473j)
4 diodes we can cut the whole weathstone bridge including a fuse it came with
1 4,7uf electrolitic capacitor
1 15ohms resistor
1 1100ohms resistor
They were tested on the breadboard on a try-error test and for the 220v of my home line the valours of the elements, ligth bright the leds and get about 2.9 on each led,wich is safe for a long life of the led
If your local line is 110v then you need two .047uf capacitors
The leds are connected in serie one behind the other,and the other components are connected according the graphic on pic 3

Installing the Leds
Mark dividing the lid on 8 drill a 5mm hole on each line,then drill 8 holes in betwen lines,and one on the center ,pic1
Put the leds around taken care of the cathode of one led facing the anode of the next one,and so one until we get to the center ,pic2
Cut the led's leg to reach the next one ,and then sold them, pic3

Enssambling and Testing
Cut a plastic circle in order to install it in betwen both lids,to insulate the leds from possible unwanted contacts
Unite the parts with some rounds of tape,pass previously the wire throw the upper lid's hole

Installing
Attach the magnet to the ligth,then put them on the best position to illuminate the base of the drill press, the magnet will do it's job holding firmly the ligth
Pass the wire along the original wires,get inside the switch and connect to the on position
Push the on switch and ,voilá, the ligth was done
Hope is usefull for someone who need light on a working place,if so don't forget to vote for the contest . Thank You
