Production Department Editor I have compiled this article for you to learn how to use waste DIY to transform a personalized and practical small desk lamp. I hope you like it.
First of all, materials:
○A lamp holder. The one I use here comes with its own switch. If you can’t find one, you will have to buy another switch.
○A wire about 2.5 meters long (depending on your situation).
○One plug
○One energy-saving lamp, I use Philips 3U 18W energy-saving lamp.
○If you don’t have the center of the drawing paper, you can also use the water pipe, as long as it is curved and light in weight.
○Electrical tape or ordinary tape will work, but it’s just not easy to use.
○For a piece of wood, you can buy ready-made wood strands from the decorative materials market.
○One clip, the bigger the better.
First peel off the wire skin at both ends of the wire to expose the copper wire inside.
Put the lamp holder and socket Take it all off
Then install the wires When you go inside the plug, pay attention to two points:
1. Don’t let the copper wires of the two wires touch each other.
2. Pay attention to the black rubber piece at the back, be sure to use it to fix the wire.
Then, put the lamp holder Make sure the wires are connected securely. You should pay more attention to the lamp head with its own switch. Some have three electrodes, and two of them are open., don’t short circuit.
Finally plug the lamp into the lamp holder.
Completed wire connection
Put the prepared paper Take the tube/water pipe/... and cut off a section longer than the lamp, then cut it in the middle; you can control the specific dimensions yourself.
And then put it Use a file or sandpaper to smooth the edges and corners.
Adhere it to the lamp (actually, you can also stick it on if you can
The following are the highlights:
First cut the wooden strips into two suitable sections. You can control the specific dimensions yourself, but they should not be too different.
Then put the two The ends of the wooden strips are cut in half. Here is a trick: first tie the two wooden strips together, and then saw them together
Be patient and make the head round and drill two holes, preferably stacked together.
Use screws and nuts Fix the two wooden strips together. It is best to add a small rubber pad in the middle. I will explain why later. Note that the clamps at the back are also screwed on with screws and nuts. The method is to first drill a hole in the wooden strip, find a large gasket to pad the outside of the hole on the clip, put the screw through the wooden strip, the clamp, the washer, and finally screw it on with a nut. Be sure to use pliers to tighten the nut.
Put the wooden strips Cut a groove on one end to hold the lamp holder
Finally, fix the lamp holder to the bracket. I was lazy and just wrapped it with electrical tape. Now you should have guessed why a rubber pad is added between the two wooden strips. After adding the rubber pad, the friction between the two wooden strips increases, allowing it to maintain a certain angle.
If you are interested, you can modify the lampshade.
