Design of the Desk Lamp:

The choosen Desk Lamp comes in two seperate parts.

You might notice: There are o parts and no power supply in the Base of the Desk Lamp. This makes it easier to hack it. All parts are in the External power supply or inside the Lamp Head. This makes it easy and more save to built in some custom parts into this lamp.

One Base made of Aluminium:

One Upper Part:

You might notice the big advantage of this OLD Desk Lamp as a Part Source. This Connector is a typical 5mm connector ideal for direct connection to a Voltage Supply during development.

The power supply that comes original is a constant current with 24 V Power supply. The manufacturer says in the spec that there is some kind of PWM for dimming included. After some measurements I could not find out how this works. I needed to replace it by a different one to met the 5V of my choosen RGB LEDs.

I disassembled the Lamp head as well. Unfortunately the originally used LED of this lamp are only WARM White. On this old original PCB Design it is not easy to build in some RGB LEDS ore An AirQuality sensor. That's why I choosed to replace this Original PCB by a custom made.
