After careful consideration, some of the cheaper resistors particularly the 68ohm 100+ packs cheapies have even thinner legs than i'm used to, not sure if it's a good or bad thing... So after crushing the arm off my driving specs (by sitting on them) the tiny tiny screw vanished to never be seen again and i don't have any tiny enough, low and behold the cheap 68ohm resistors from ebay are perfect size     I cut one end off leaving the tip, dropped the resistor in, apply solder, fixed, small intrusive and I'm the only geek who drives wearing glasses with a resistor as a fix LOL sad the things i do, but anyway it works fine it acts as a pin no squeaks, seems perfectly good to use, i'll know when i use them to drive with next. |

The wife says it's "GeekSheek" I say it's a handy resistor to have in-case of emergency...

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, however in practice there are many...

Why not add a coin cell and LED as well, then you'll have a built-in reading light!

I've done this with a small piece of wire before. Now every new pair of glasses gets some blue Loctite thread-locker. No more issues since.

No doubt this is the start of a new trend. Plus, I'm sure the glasses will be more resistant to breaking in the future.

Are you sure this will work as planned ?
Could be the camera (or me) but this doesn't seem to be a 68 Ohms resistor.
Maybe you should check the value before you put the load on it.
