    I've got an LED desk lamp, but it gets in the way in any position that actually puts light where I need.

    Seems legit.



    I don't see any potential issues, as long as all the wires are fully covered. Any exposed wires can be covered with shrink wrap, electrical tape, hot glue, etc.

    After sleeping on it, I realized that the entire back of the light has expossed contacts, but it doesn't seem to be an issue with operation at this point. I can just sleeve it though. This is something that someone with a 3D printer could help with. Little hoods for the lights would be effective. We should probably be having this conversation in that thread ...

    Christmas hasn't started. We're still in Advent. Christmastide starts on Christmas. The world is stupid and in many ways this Christmas decorations up day after Thanksgiving is what makes the actual day lacking a special character for many. To turn an old phrase, "True Christmas Waits".

    Piece of milk container with some electrical tape, or spray painted black would work.

    For those who practice the faith. For others such as myself, we believe the gift of giving is not something one does based on a calendar.

    Not to take away the spirit and celebration of the Birth of Jesus Christ. It's not something everyone does.

    Have you ever written a long and thoughtful post, and then decided... fuck it, nobody cares what you think?

    All the time. Learning to type stuff out, then ultimately deleting it has made me a better forum member, and a better person. Welcome to the club.
