More work on the jp beacon. This time the light gets an hausimg to protect it from shaking inside the aluminium beacon. Therefore I used some material laying around, like an old plastic pen refill, a NERF soft dart and some tape.
Dirst I had to get rid of the old ink, then drilled the hole wider to get the cables of the LED fit in.
Now I can "screw" the plastic pen refill inside the beacon bottom.
Cut the pen refill and the NERF dart, which is hollowed on the inside, to the correct length. The LED will sit in the end of the softfoam dart and on top of the pen refill.
The pen refill get wrapped with the tape, so it will fit smoothly inside the softfoam dart. The reason is, to be able to change the LED, if it´s not working anymore.
As you can see, the LED sits directly beyond the vents of the beacon top.
That´s the result.
