Mood Box: Final!

While waiting for the final project to cure, I worked on my mood box. Yeah, this is the current (and final) version of it! The mood box was made slightly larger than the final, so as to allow the final to fit inside it. It was made from acrylic plates (known locally as perspex) that formed a hexagonal box.

Six LEDs were wired onto the bottom of the box. These were activated by a press-on switch in the center of the box. When the box was placed on a horizontal surface, the switch activated the LEDs. The LEDs were connected to a custom battery pack that housed two 9V batteries. The pack supplied 18V of electricity in total to power the LEDs.

This is the final appearance of the box. The walls were "frosted" by using spray paint. I used Royal Ivory for the effect. The box's base and cover were not frosted. The cover was attached to the box by means of a metal piano hinge riveted to the cover and one of the walls. In this picture below, the light did not diffuse to the top of the box due to the final project resting inside it. The final project was supported by six support walls that also helped to strengthen the box's structure.

At last, my mood box is completed. It underwent many changes in concepts and design. The final concept conveys a sense of "nature".
