DIY Camping Lamp from useless stuff

I've found two pieces of lithium battery from old mobile phone.

A charging circuit board from a dead battery pack.



And a LED panel from a dead desktop light.



By adding a simple switch, a new camping light were born:


I made a paper box to cover the battery.

With this battery pack charging circuit, the charging speed is now faster.


I used a mobile phone mounting to fix it on a small tripod, and then to use it in actual scenario.

It has been over 8 hours and it's still up and kicking.




















More than enough for overnight camping.
