The product really interests me and I like to assemble things, but it's quite daunting when I looked at the assembly manual D:

FDFDOnce you have the parts in front of you and read the instructions online, step by step, it's really not that daunting. The nice part about the instructions is that they have checkpoints to test components by plugging in the power, for example, test the alarm or the tube before continuing on.
Most DIY instructions just power through the whole build and then you hope it turns on.

FDFDYes, it doesn't look actually that difficult, though finding how to solder the tube is likely the most difficult part. One good part about well supported DIY projects like this is that there are usually people available that you can ask for help if you run into trouble.<br /><br />I wonder if I can get a photoresistor and rig it up to the code somehow to make it auto-change brightness. That'd be pretty cool, I think.

dorkvaderThe photoresistor sounds doable, other methods are just changing the brightness depending on the hour of the day. So full brightness during noon and gradually changing brightness as night falls. No photoresistor needed!
