DeWalt DC527 LED Conversion Adapter

Hello Everyone-

I have been wanting to convert my DeWalt hand Held Work Light for a while. Finally took the time to check the power usage of the original CFL bulb, and my own that I created from the cheap LED strip lights you buy on a roll.

The original CFL bulb uses about 10.3W, where my roll your own LED bulb came in at 5.4W. Just about half the power usage and brighter.

I used a 3/4" piece of gray PVC Conduit, 6" long. That's what I had lying around. I wrapped the LED strip around it like a candy cane.

HELPFUL HINT: Before you just start wrapping, leave the sticky backing on and wrap it all the way. This will give you the length and the starting angle of the wrap. Use scotch tape to help secure it.

The voltage converter is a cheap step down converter purchased from eBay. I used this converter for some other projects, so I had some history with it.
