Conrad's World

One of the many many toys our children have is a Lullaby Light Show, you wind it up, it plays music and lights up stuff on the ceiling. The problem is that it uses 3 D cell batteries. When they ran out I decided I could make it better.

I picked up a $3 LED flashlight from Frys and proceded to rip it apart to get the LED and batterries. I then opened up the toy to figure out where I could connect wires to complete the circuit.

Once that I connected the wires to the batteries and LED. Since I don't have a soldering iron I used the next best thing. Old speaker wire, duct tape, and hot glue.

Here is the bottom of the toy opened up after I had connected all the wires.

A closer look

Here is where the LED is housed.

To finish it off I shoved paper towel in to keep it from bouncing around too much. You can also see the leftovers of the flashlight housing.

All closed up, I present to you the finished product. Now not only does it weigh a lot less but the batteries should last at least until they no longer care about this at night.
