Light Tower Work Light

thingiverse

Illuminate your workspace just like a construction crew! This is a battery-powered work light shaped like a tiny version of the generator-powered light trailers often seen at construction sites. The battery (generator) compartment holds 4 18650 cells and has a slot on the bottom for a charging cable to exit, and a small pocket is provided near the trailer tongue that can hold an LED driver. Bottom cover is held in place by 4 M3x6mm screws. Add your own LED strips/COBs to the lamp head (pocket measures 52x36mm). I used a 1/4" threaded rod for the tower, this will bite into the holes at top and bottom and stay secure (a set screw hold is included in the top piece if needed). To connect the tilting joint on the head use an M4x20mm screw with a locknut and two washers between the sliding surfaces. The base and lamphead parts need supports to print reliably. (Electronics are somewhat a work in progress - later versions may include dedicated mounting for a switch, or a bigger electronics bay to hold something like a dimmer.)
