UPDATE AUGUST 14.2019 - The original uploaded 35MM LED PCB Mount Small file was corrupt. A NEW file has been uploaded today (file size = 28KB).

This LED Tilt Light Mount uses a DOLLAR TREE Store 100-Lumen LED Lantern and was inspired by this "Simple tiltable snap-in frame for G4-type LED lamps" by enif: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:192377

The DOLLAR TREE Store description is Super Bright Outdoor Lantern, 5x2.875 in. SKU #279443 as listed on their website: https://www.dollartree.com/super-bright-outdoor-lanterns-5x2875-in/279443

This LED Lantern is disassembled by removing the battery cover and removing the inside round screw. Be careful not to lose the POWER BUTTON after disassembly. Pulling apart the housing reveals the wiring and LED PCB board. Remove the flat head screw securing this board. Note the polarity of the wires to this PCB and cut/solder on a suitable length of wires for remote mounting of this LED board. I used a 8-inch length of #24AWG dual-conductor stereo speaker wire.

Four files are provided for this tiltable LED mount:

LED PCB circuit board mount (note file size = 28KB)

Mounting bracket with holes (either medium or short length)

Battery Cover

No hardware required for the LED PCB tilt mount held in the brackets, all just snug fit.

Bend PLA parts under hot water for degree of firmness.

The battery cover is press fit in, or can be secured with tape.

Reassemble and mount as you like. I used ZIP TIES to secure the battery housing for my use, with hardware used to secure the bracket.

Running on 3-AA Batteries. I measured approx. 400MA current.
