Converted deak lamp to LED

I had this desk lamp for a very long time. I loved it but hated it because of it's 100w halogen bulb. It would get so hot that the metal would be scorching. It was also a waste of electricity.
Fast forward, I decided to hunt for parts on eBay for LED parts and controllers. I found the pieces and a month later I got the parts I needed to start disassembling and retrofitting my lamp to become a LED lamp. Here is the result. I love it.
The bare LED is super bright and it's only 20 watts. 
I went to TapPlastics and bought a scrap piece of 1/4" P95 acrylic (.75¢) which I tabled sawed to 6.5"x3.75" to be used as a light diffuser.
Et voilá!
I love it.
