[QUOTE="Corellianexports, post: 5319685, member: 497"] With the wires soldered in place, I use a heat gun to shrink the wrap, helping to solidify the connections to the battery holder. I test fit the wires and the battery holder, taking some measurements. The battery holder is a little too wide to fit, so I use some 220 grit to remove some material on either side of the holder: [ATTACH]1579590[/ATTACH] After taking some measurements, the positive wire is cut for attaching the switch. This is standard procedure for any electrical project like this one. The negative terminal is always wired directly to the LED while the positive terminal is always wired to the switch: [ATTACH]1579592[/ATTACH] I use the wire strippers to remove the ends of the positive wires: [ATTACH]1579594[/ATTACH] Wires soldering the switch: [ATTACH]1579595[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
