Wiring of the lamp

Almost up to completion.
I began wiring the lamp up by simply cutting and splitting the positive and negative wires from the light pack and adding them to the wires I had embedded in the lamp.



Using a soldering iron, I first tinned the wires to make it easy to solder to the LED strips. 



Once wires and soldered, I used heat shrink tubing to cover wiring. 




The LED pack I bought only allowed me to connect them by the tip, not next to each other. I used a similar process to where I soldered the positive and negative wires to the LED strip. Then stuck the two strips together. 



LED strips parallel as oppose to being connected to the tips.
