Parts needed
40mm thick PVC pipe. Aproximately 15 cm long
1 SL6 Lamp assy
2 wires which can take 2 amps of power
1 6AA battery holder
Some newspaper
Loads of patience
Tools needed
Soldering Iron, best if around 30 watts <
10 fingers or toes dependin on which are you more proficient with
Pliers
Wire Cutters/Stripper OR scissors
Instructions
At the bottom of the SL6 LA, make a hole with the soldering iron, near the metal contact. Strip the red wire of 1cm of insulator. Proceed to solder the red wire into that hole at a flat angle so that it's not perpendicular, making sure some solder touches the metal contact. Wait for the solder to harden/cool. Make sure it's stuck inside and won't move around or drop off easily.
Take some news paper, tear of 2 pieces of 15 cm x 6 cm long pieces, fold it into half, so you get 2 pieces of 15 cm x 3 cm pieces (don't have to be too precise). Strip the black wire of around 2.5 cm of insulation and place it on the outer part of the SL6 LA and wrap the newspaper around the SL6 LA tightly. When you are done with 1 piece of news paper, over lap it with the other. When you have a well bandaged up SL6 LA, proceed to stick it into the 40mm diameter (Outer diameter) PVC pipe. Fold the newspapers in at the bottom parts to fit it into the pipe first. Make sure it's a really snug fit.
Finally, pop in your 6AA battery pack filled with either 6 rechargables or 6 alkalines (i would personally go the rechargable route since 1 amp for alkaline is BAD. Maybe someone can try lithium batteries?
Connect up the wires to the battery pack, fit in a switch of some sort that you like, either those sliding ones or those rocker ones. D.I.Y the sit somewhere on the PVC piping. Fill up the rear with some crumpled newspaper. Tah dah, your first self contain super Ghetto SL6 light with a 1+ hour run time if used with 1850 mah Sanyos (I manage 2 hours plus. But everything differs)
Please take note I will not take responsibility for any damage caused, directly, or indirectly by this mod. No burnt fingers insurance, no burnt up house because of short circuiting stuff. In summary, I am not responsible for what you do with this information.
