Emergency Battery Operated Lamp - for when the power goes out

I wanted some battery operated lamps for emergency lighting around the house if and when the power goes out. Everything I could find was way to expensive or didn't run on 18650 batteries - of which I have a ton of laying around. So I came up with this design.

It uses 24" of high density LED Strip lights, the 12 volt variety so it can run off 3 Series 18650 Lipo batteries. I have a PWA controller that allows me to turn down the power so I can run them for hours on low output, or turn them up to maximum when I need high intensity.

The project consists of 3 parts:

• A box with a snap-on lid that contains the batteries and controller and acts as the lamp base
• A 4 sided tower for 4 strips of LED light strips
• A clear lens that goes over the tower of LED strip lights

There are also a set of fasteners and a wire guide that puts it all together, plus an optional handle (use #2 screws to attach the handle).

These are the sources for my parts:

• Controller - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09P6D5TMV
• LED Strip lights - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09767PHJL

I printed everything in PLA. I used clear for the lens. You could use spiral-vase mode, but you would have to use a larger tip than 0.4 and adjust the extrusion width to 1mm so the lens fits properly on the base tower. I did not do this. I printed with 4 perimeters and Random Seam Position. The last picture is the lens printed with both methods side by side.
