Notebook Light- Round 2

I took this original layout of my notebook light and reconfigured it so that the wires would not disrupt the use of the light.

To begin I twisted the wires to make just one adjustable "wire," solving the problem of two wires getting in the way. I then soldered the light, which I got from a mini-flashlight, to the ground and power wires. I then soldered the ground and the power wires to pins that are secured in plastic. I attached the pins to the back of the notebook with some tape.

I then attached a 4-AA batteries pack to the circuit. The power wiring runs straight to the pin on the back of the notebook. While the ground wire is ran to the light bulb. I taped some wire mesh on the front of the notebook so when the two covers meet in the open position the mesh will connect the circuit. As demonstrated in class, the power supply was too great for the light bulb, which originally only needed one AAA battery.

I did attempt to make the power supply be a AAA battery by soldering wire mesh to wires, then having the battery rest in-between the mesh. This however did not work, therefore I attempted to use the 4-AA battery pack that came in the Physical computing kit from the NYU bookstore.
