Fireflies

         

Tree

*Artificial tree bought at a huge flower shop at Thomson Road, Far East Flora

*New packages of firefly circuit

*Failure in the past:

-Both firefly circuits were burnt

-Lamps from both circuits were damaged, but the other parts are safe

-Changing the lamps with LED-s 

-The LED-s light doesn't look the same as the original lamps

*Using a screwdriver to adjust the length of time needed for one blink on the potentiometer

*Male: 3 seconds needed for one blink (real time : 5 seconds)

*Female: 2 seconds needed for one blink

*Attaching the wing

*Circuit is inside the body

*Finished firefly

*2 fireflies with circuit inside

*Placing a firefly on the box

*Extending the length of the cable

*It's not convenient to take out the batteries each time when they are not in a use

*A switch is one solution

*Batteries and switch hanging on the box

*A lot of masking tapes seen here

*In chaos

*There are two power supplies here, so there are two switches needed (below the box)

*Looks messy in the image and it's in a complete mess in reality

*A branch of the tree is put into the box

*A small 3.8 volt lamp is hanging on the tree

*The cables are coiling the branch

*Three pack of 3-volt batteries (2 for firefly circuits, 1 for lamp)

*It's getting messier and messier

*Light is "ON", firefly is "OFF"

*Two fireflies

*One on the grass, one on the tree
