How to Add LED Indication in Electrical Appliances(Glue Gun)

Hello everyone This is my first Instructable so please forgive syntax or any other error,THANKS.

We all have many electrical appliances like Glue gun,soldering iron,Drill Machine etc, but most of the time it happens that we don't have any immediate and visual indication that our appliances is on or not yet.For Example if you have Soldering iron without indication you can only know its on/off status by checking time to time if ot is hot or not.Well this is REALLY Annoying.So this instructable is the solution of this problem.

I am writing this instructable only because of the inspiration by another instructable,please follow the link first.Here it is

LED-on-AC-Mains

So i assume that you have got some thing made like the one shown in fig.

Here we are adding LED light in a Glue gun,but you can add it in any appliance by following these simple steps.

So next step is that open the Glue gun by removing its all screws.It should look like the one in the picture.

In the upper body part,make a hole by using a drill or simply use a Screw Driver(in case you are a bit Lazy like me).(fig.1)

You can make hole in any part of the body where you think that the LED with diode and resistor will fit perfect.

Make it beautiful by removing/cutting extra plastic from sides of the hole.You can use a paper cutter like one i used(fig.2)

solder some thin wires with the legs of LED to make them a bit longer so that we can easily connect it with incoming AC wires.

1)Make sure to unplug the Gun(of course you wil) :D

2)If you can see a joint in the inside wires of gun,remove insulation around the joint about half inch .if you dont have joint make one yourself.

3)Connect the wires from LED to the joint(dont care about +ve and GND because its AC) , and solder the joint strongly.

4)Now cover both joints separately with Insulation tape.

5)Place the LED in its place and close the body of the gun,make sure our LED is out through the hole.

6)Place the Screws back.

When the LED is out through the hole, apply some bond to keep it in its place.

So it may look like the one shown in fig.

Thanks for viewing this instructable.Suggestions are always accepted.

I have seen that the 22Kohm(2 watt) is heating too much and i am unable to find the solution of this problem.

If you have fixed it please let others know.

Thanks.
