Alex and I finished a "home made" LED bulb today. Lots of soldering. It has 38 LEDs in series and so requires ~160 volts DC. It uses a simple bridge rectifier made of 4 diodes to convert the AC to DC. A few resistors and two capacitors round out the power supply.

We recently finished Alex's robot art, where we prototyped a circuit and then committed it with PCBs, wire, resistors, solder, and lots of hot glue.
