Introduction:    On this page I will shou you how to make your Alien Eye more water resistant.  You will need standard silicon rubber.  If you really want to make your Alien Eye completely water proof, then the switch must be eliminated, as in the design to the left.   Notice there are two barrel connectors instead of one barrel connector and a switch.

To switch the lamp on you need to plug the power connector in.   A dummy barrel connector can be added to the lamp so that when the lamp is to be turned off the power connector is plugged in the dummy barrel connector. 

Remove the two screws holding the
connector base.

Carefully pull back the connector base.

The wires are stiff.

Apply silicon rubber around the shoulder of the connector base.

Make sure the area around the screws is covered.

Press the connector base back into position.

Replace the screws in the connector base

Wipe the excess silicon rubber from the lamp.

Solder the barrel connector to the pins on the lamp base. 

Test the connection. 

Tack the barrel connector and the dummy
barrel connector to the connector base.

After the FIMO forming is complete.

Place silicon rubber in the groove of the die casting. 

With your finger, smooth and distribute the
silicon rubber uniformly in the groove.

Carefully place the lens in the lamp.

Apply Silicon rubber to the edge in the plastic trim piece.
This will also help keep the trim piece from breaking
or cracking since it is a fragile part.

With your finger, smooth and distribute the
silicon rubber uniformly in the edge of the trim piece. 

Assemble the plastic ring

Press the lamp down on the trim pieced
to flatten out the silicon rubber.

Replace the screws.
