Usually you solder and don?t weld electric wiring.

Hi UrbanTiger
Nice to see that there are also "sober" Swedes
( the most I meet in Copenhagen is "dead" drunk 
) , even someone who can spell English better than myself , but be glad that I diden't wrote it in Danish, as reserves there would not be many of you who understand a word of what I tried to explain 
.Happy New Year to you all

nice DIY! I take it the 2W bulb draws enough to make up for the LED and therefore lights ok. good idea! a 12V2W resistor would work just as good and you wouldn't have to worry about the bulb burning out just a thought
just a thought
