Fixing Your Snow Globe Lights
Check the lights in your snow globe a few days before you plan to put up the decorations. This will make it easier to replace any faulty bulbs. Various companies make electric snow globes, so the bulbs are changed a little differently depending on the manufacturer.
Other Electric Snow Globes
If you have a Gemmy snow globe, you will have to deflate it before changing the bulbs. Unzip the zipper closest to the bulb; it may or may not be on the bottom. These also have light covers, which you will need to squeeze sideways to free the bulbs.
Caring for an Outdoor Snow Globe
Outdoor snow globes do well in normal and light weather conditions, including gentle snowfalls and rain, but you must protect them from the harsher elements. They can survive below-freezing temperatures, but if the weather drops below 20 degrees Fahrenheit or so, bring your decoration inside.
Step 1: Surgery
I tried to get the original circuit working, but it was very corroded and rusted. I used some rubbing alcohol to clean off the corrosion so I could see if there were any glaring problems. I didn't see anything obvious, so I tried hooking it up to some 12v power.
Step 2: Power Adapter
After I cut the wires of this LED board, I needed an easy way to connect it to a power supply. I had a little screw-terminal and a 5.5mm barrel jack connector. I also had a scrap of perf board that was just the right size.
Step 3: New Circuit Design
Since the original circuit was made with surface mount devices (SMD), and I was replacing everything with through-hole devices, I had to simplify the replacement a bit to make sure it would still fit in the 52mm holder.
Step 4: Transferring the Circuit
I am still trying to perfect this step. I just cut out the design and hold it tight into the corner of the copper board before I iron it onto the board.
Step 5: Etching
I have only been etching circuits for a short time, and I haven't done much experimentation with different types, but this method has been working well for me and it doesn't waste a lot of etchant.
Step 6: Reusing the LEDs
I usually use desoldering braid to remove parts but I decided to try a new vacuum pump and I really like it. I used to think these little desoldering pumps were gimmicks, but I was really surprised how well it works and how easy it is. If you solder, you know that without flux, it can be very difficult to get the solder to stick where you want it.
Step 7: Drilling and Soldering
I use 2 different sizes of tungsten carbide cutters to drill the holes in the board. I drill a pilot hole from the copper side and punch through the other side, then I widen the hole from the back with a larger bit.
