Hi folks
As some of you know, I have been a member here since around March 2010. I don't create lot's of new threads asking lot's of questions. I can pretty much stand on my own two feet as far as electronics and my field goes....
Anyways, I had this idea back in September 2010. It was born out of curiosity to see if it can indeed be done as said device would be beneficial to help uplift the poor kids whom our "government" is determined to dumb down for voting purposes. Cannon fodder for continued X marks next to pretty pictures of politicians they recognize.
Sorry for the small wall of text coming.
Yes it is a LED light. Yes it will enable students to study without resorting to candles in rural area's of South Africa. And yes, it is rechargeable at the child's school where they have mains. Totally flat battery is fully charged in 3 Hours. Yes, the charger is built in. Nothing to loose or forget by the child. And reading/studying/learning is possible for around 3 Hours minimum with no risk of anything burning. No more fallen candles and unexplained fires.
Back to the Title of my post:
Designed a usefull product from scratch. Anyone else followed this lonely path?
Electronics were done and dusted 4 December 2010. Professionally made double sided
PCB's. Not a single LED failure in 1200 hours of testing so far.
My huge problem now is the lonely walk of a casing. Absolutely no one can help. Yes, I bought a Dremel, Router Table and correct router bits and so on.
Yes, I can more or less get consistency with what I have. Good for now. Production NO.
A dedicated mold is out of the question now. I don't have R100000,00 to throw around yet. Got to make money first.
This is a global mind fulck for me. Anybody been there?
Thanks,
Tv Tech
