Note that the complete assembly instructions are beyond the scope of this thinigiverse thing. Therefore the instructions cover only the assembly of the 3D printed parts. If you want to learn how to assemble the SMD LEDs, feel free to visit my LED lamp workshop at FabLab Munich (http://wiki.fablab-muenchen.de/display/WIKI/Programm).

Note: the design was inspired by the torch light described in this book:
