Lamp

Figure 6 - Lamp Placement

The final component, the lamp, will need preparing before it can be soldered to the circuit board.  If you look carefully at the shaft of the bulb you will see a little part that has already been tinned with solder. Using your snipe nose pliers to hold one of the discarded leads from the components we have already mounted, lay the end of the lead across this little tinned part and solder.  Next solder another discarded component lead to the end of the bulb making sure that they are oriented in the same direction.  Figure 6a shows the how the leads should be soldered to the bulb.  Make sure that you have not made the mirror image of Figure 6a as the bulb will only mount in the circuit board if it looks exactly like the diagram.

Once you have prepared the bulb you can mount it to the circuit board as shown in Figure 6.
