Hello Everyone,
I'm new, and joyed this forum because I have a project I am working on, and am hoping to get the electronics advise I need.
I bought Photonlight Freedom Micro for two reason. Size, and the 3 minute timer mode you can access on it. I then made a DYI fiber optic cable that I connected to the LED light using a length of clear tubing. While the end of my DIY cable glowed nicely, it did not project the light into a second fiber nearby. So, I have to some up with a second solution.
for logistical reasons, I cannot mount the Freedom Micro right next to the fiber optic line I want to light up. What I need is to mount the Freedom Micro about 6 inches from the fiber.
I want it to look like this, but I can't run the fiber like this, I need to move the bulb.
My question, CAN I remove the LED bulb from the body of the Freedom Micro, extend its connection somehow the 6 inches I need, and mount the light next to fiber I wan to make glow?
CAN I do this? What kind of connector wiring would I need? How would I solder the end? Should I use shrink wrap to create a cable?
Any and all help is appreciated.
Hal
