I want to make a reading lamp from a piece of a branch that I have. I am hoping to either embed LED diodes into a section of the branch, and if that's not possible, to use a small a surface mounted LED bulb, or several of them, to provide the lighting.
My reference here is a 100 watt incandescent light bulb, which I've read gives of about 1,600 lumens. My eyes are happier with strong lighting.
When I research LEDs online I get lost in the avalanche of vendors selling what to me look like similar coils of LED strips, but I don't know what's quality and what isn't. I become a bit overwhelmed with trying to figure out what might work, and what's just flashy hype.
If anyone has some experience with LEDs similar to what I'm trying to do I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!
