Can you link the 2 amp charger you ordered. 1 amp are easy to find but can’t find a decent 2 amp. I’m in the process of building a lantern myself, but nothing compared to your skills.
Yes, it could be paralleled with the 1 amp charger board. Finding a place to mount the second board would be the challenge. A 2 amp would need a heat sink for certain. I have used one before. I thought I had a spare but could not find it. That’s why I ran into a time crunch to order a 2 amp. I could maybe mount it externally under the bottom cover piece. ??
MD, that may be a request for a hyperlink. Even if it wasn’t, it would hurt to give the link for us curious individuals. Thanks!
Total misinterpretation of the statement / question about “could I link”…… I’ll look that up and get back here and post it. Thanks for making that clear to me. Getting old or something….
thanks
Sorry I wasn’t clear with my request. The hyperlink is perfect. Thank you.
Well, it is funny how the mind works. At least I think it is funny how mine works at times.
Beautiful Work! 
OK. It is completed. No changes or additions, but I dusted it off a bit and polished the external copper discs. Then I took a few more pictures.
Very nice sir
I think its been mentioned before but when does the group buy begin? I’d be up for a few. 
I am thinking of making another with a few changes in design that would make construction easier. The appearance would be about the same. The number of hours invested in this light makes it a tad costly.
Nice job Don. Some chinese company will copy it, and we will probably start seeing these for sale on Banggood in short order… lol
Looking good! I think the only thing I’d change might be to carefully hide the driver under the top plate. But granted you only see that when opening the lantern, which should practically be never, right?
Yes, the driver could have been hidden above the copper plate in a recess carved into the underside of the upper wood plate. That’s one of those things that would likely be changed if there is a second version built. That would be a little tidier looking. There’s no practical reason to ever remove a panel. The main reason the panels were made removable was to make assembly easier. Sticking the paper on the inside of the grids would have been awkward at best if the grid assembly was a more permanent part of the unit.
For Christmas my lantern project was gifted to our son. Here it is at it’s new home. (He has the bookshelving with the matching Shoji style doors.)
Nice
What a beautiful gift!
Looks great there, MD. Pairs nicely with that wine rack - another one of your creations?
