This steampunk-style table lamp can be powered via a USB-C port. The built-in dimmer allows you to adjust the brightness as desired. Thanks to the built-in LiPo battery, the lamp can also be operated without a power connection.

Rust finish

The printed parts were primed with a mixture of high-fill clear matte varnish and brown model paint with metallic components. After drying, the parts were treated with the rust activator (sometimes several times) to achieve the desired finish. The paint used is available from https://www.rostfarbe.de

Electronics

The light bulb

For the light source, two 3V 40mm 150mA LED filaments were used per lamp. These were connected in the middle with a spot welder and welded to two insulated copper wires.
