Based on Adam Savage's work light which uses a LED photography light, Loc-Line, and armature wire. 

3D print files includes a mount for a 35.5mm diameter monitor arm and parts to connect the light to a Loc-Line piece. I suggest printing with PETG. 

I have also included a rough template for a 3/4in Loc-Line piece.

Hardware: 

  1. Amazon list containing the main hardware used 
  2. One 30mm m3 button head screw
  3. (Optional) Short length of 4mm steel rod
  4. Basic soldering 

Build Instructions: 

Light Connector:
  1. Print .3mf file. 
  2. Insert the Light Connector into the top of a piece of Loc-Line.
  3. Insert the Light Connector Brace into the bottom of the same piece.
  4. Align the passthrough holes (I used a short length of armature wire).
  5. Insert the screw from the bottom and screw them together slightly. 
  6. Connect bottom of LED panel's go pro style connector to Light Connector piece and fully tighten the screw.
Wiring:
  1. cut the power cable somewhere between the barrel plug and the power supply. 
  2. Plug the barrel plug into LED Panel and pass the wires through the passthrough hole on the Light Connector piece. 
  3. Pass the wires on the power supply side through the monitor arm mount. 
  4. Pass wires through your chosen amount of Loc-Line and solder them together
Final Steps:
  1. (Optional) Add steel rod section to monitor arm mount. 
  2. Add armature wire to the inside of the Loc-Line. 
  3. Connect all Loc-Line pieces. 

 

Light will always “settle” a bit as the Loc-Line will have some empty space inside it. Steel rod can prevent it from drooping near the mount. 

Adding more armature wire can reduce the settling as it takes up more room in the Loc-Line.
