Schematic diagram and pictures of the PCB can be found at: LINK. You have to remember to program Attiny2313. The lamp is powered from simple mains charger 6-15V 300mA. The device is equipped with three lighting modes and other functions.



The lampshade visible in the pictures was made of 4mm transparent plexiglass. It has a shape of a cube opened at the top. Some dried leaves were added to each side for best results of presentation at night, when they are lit. On the other hand, during the day, when the light is off, you cannot see the leaves behind the paper (this effect is best shown in the middle picture above). The paper, which was used to cover the plexiglass, is thin handmade paper (slightly greenish).



The lampshade is mounted on a piece of old radio antenna, all the sliding pieces were removed from the middle, two pieces were left: one slightly extended so that the first piece holds the lampshade and the second one enters the lampshade and so 8 cables of a typical internet twisted-pair go through the antenna. Those cables are used for control two RGB LEDs.

The base is a piece of birch stump, well suited to the leaves and it gives the whole a unique look for each stump is different. There was a hole in the bottom of the stump made in order to fit the PCB.

Control buttons were placed in the bottom of the stump.
