The leaf lamp is intended to be placed by the door to provide a dim illumination when returning home. The bowl shape serves as a catchall for keys, change and cell phones.

I'm using an arduino uno to pulse the LED's, sometimes in combination with a proximity sensor to adjust the maximum brightness.

Thanks to clothbot for the idea of using aluminum foil as both a ground plate and a reflective surface.

1. Print all parts in white plastic, with zero infill (to allow the light to spread throughout the piece better) and glue or bond together.
2. Cut a piece of aluminum foil to the shape of the leaf.
3. Form foil to the bottom of the leaf, shiny side in, and poke holes in line with the LED holes.
4. Place (or glue) LED's in holes and bend ground leads down to contact foil.
5. Using tape or any other method, secure ground leads to foil.
6. Tape over entire surface of foil with electrically insulating tape (I used kapton and it looks really nice).
7. Bend positive leads down flat with taped surface.
8. Wire in whatever way you see fit (I wired 8 of the LED's in pairs, and the remaining 6 in threes, including the resistors on the bottom of the leaf, to make them fit with the 6 pwm pins on my arduino).
9. Cover with another layer of insulating tape.
10. Glue edges of foil to bottom of leaf
11. Wire and program LED controller
