The design and construction of items which will be connected to the mains supply where the use of electricity is peripheral or fundamental (eg, low-voltage power supplies for electronics).Instruction in the repair and maintenance of equipment.The construction of electronics circuits from prepared modules or components.

The creation of a joint between the faces of sheet metal components or between wires and terminals using molten solder with a flux. 

This project combines a variety of materials and finishes to produce a lamp stand. This can also incoroprate simple electronics in the form of a low voltage lamp, switch and power source.

Mains voltages should be avoided, contact CLEAPSS via the Helpline for further information on using mains electricity.

This project has the pupils building a small MDF box to contain a lighting circuit that is a base for a table lamp or lighting display piece.

The MRATs and other documents below are related to the construction of the box and building the electrical circuit.
