Those look really professional ! Inspired me to make some for yard lamps, but I'm going to put 2 LEDS at 180 degrees to each other to cover 2 track lines.
Great idea. I would trim the wires on both ends of the resistor. Solder one wire to one end of the resistor and cover with heat shrink or clear fingernail polish. Then I would put the resistor inside the tube near the top and just solder it to the other LED wire. If the resistor doesn't fit inside the tube then you could try SMD resistors which are smaller.
Logic would dictate that the exposed brass tube receive the ground connection - why risk a short? I would recommend that you run the positive coated wire up the tube and use the tube as your ground connection. You might also mention how you managed to shield the lamp tack cap from both LED wires.
These LEDs run on low-voltage DC. There's no neutral or ground. I usually hook them up to a 3V "supply" from two AA batteries, so it's basically a flashlight. The leads aren't even going through the cap; the flange on the LED makes sure of that. Once it's done, the paint acts as an insulator in case the air gap fails somehow.
Wonderful!! Just a suggestion, would it be possible to fit the resistor inside the tube? it looks like it might just fit? You could insulate the solder connections with a little heat shrink then insert it into the tube. Edit: I see John Frankforther had the same idea 2 months ago. :)

Great work I have a question please How I can be building modeling. I do Architecture but the models we make we use laser cut and 3d printer But they don’t make nice models like the models I see in internet ! What course I have to do after the Architecture to be more physical model Thank you
Hi Mohamed, alot of the buildings are kits, we sometimes mix the pieces and parts from different kits to make building, we call this kit bashing. we also weather the builds to make the detail stand out more. Thanks for your comment.
nice job but you get a better look if you drilled a small hole into th side of the pole and ran the negative wire into it and then sadder the wire inside the tube.
