We used a simple wire cutter to remove the rubber coating.
To protect the soldered wires, we just used electrical tape. While we were
soldering, we had the problem of accidentally putting too much soldering iron
at the connection point. It is important to keep in mind not to ruin the
connection while adding the soldering iron. Another thing to keep in mind is to
avoid the solder joints if you need to bend the wire. After we assembled our
lamp and the pieces of the stand, we realized that the LED’s wire
was too tall for our stand and we had to bend it to make it fit into the
cramped space. Since we couldn’t reach into the hole we created to bend the wire, we had
to settle with just pressing down on the LED and hoping that it would bend
properly. This caused the soldering joint, which was the weakest point, to
slightly disconnect and we had issues with connectivity for the LED after that.
