Light bulb socket adapter with extension cord

Hello!

Perhaps many of you have seen adapters, where on the one hand is the base of the bulb, and on the other hand is an ordinary outlet.


Such an adapter can help a lot in cases where you need to connect some tool, and from sources of electricity there is only a light bulb. So I had such a case. The garbage chute loop has broken. I decided to fix it, but my extension cord turned out to be short and I did not manage to power the drill. Then I remembered this adapter and decided to make myself one. But its functionality is very limited, so I upgraded it a little.

To make the adapter I need:
- working LED bulb
- the wire
- portable socket

So, I take a light bulb and remove the plastic diffuser. Then I rent a board with LEDs. It was glued with some kind of sealant around the perimeter, so I had to cut it with a knife.

Carefully take out the board and set it aside.

You need to find where the contacts are located. I marked them with red circles.


There is free access to the side contact, but it’s problematic to climb to the bottom. To do this, I drilled the base of the bulb. You need to drill carefully so as not to break off the soldered contact inside the bulb.


Then I take a plastic lampshade and make a hole for the wire. After that, I pull the wire into the hole, strip the wires and the puddle with solder.


Now you need to stick one of the wires into the hole that I drilled in the base. Be patient, the first attempt to get into the hole is very problematic. I solder the wires.


After soldering, on the bulb base, there was an excess of solder. I take a file and clean the surface.


I proceed to the final assembly. I need to insert a board with LEDs in its place, but the soldered wire interferes with me, so I make a small cutout. When installing the board, do not reverse polarity.


It is time to test my adapter. I screw the bulb into the base and turn on the drill.


Everything works fine! As a result, I have a working light bulb and a full extension cord.When using, be careful not to pull the cable out of the bulb.

Here is such a simple and useful homemade I did it. You can see more details in the video.


Thanks for attention.

Sending is a challenge, well, what you Valery shakes specifically, and on the typical 60 we do not care.

to the voltage of the PBX! 60V!
Am I confusing something (I forgot it in 30 years) or is it higher on the military lines ??? ... Something just reminds me of the fact that “civilian equipment doesn’t fit our switches”))) )))

I was sure that someone would be the first to answer my question about light bulbs at a "strange" working voltage of 60 V. And this Korolev ! good goodgood
I did not ask this question for the sake of buffoonery. I myself, a seasoned signalman, should have guessed that these bulbs are somehow tied to the voltage of the ATS! 60V! Therefore, their power is Miserable! But I therefore asked a question.
This is a rarity! xaxa I’ll count, I have them lope (except for those in the photo ...))))

People bring me different things, they know that I will find application. Many old light bulbs have accumulated, some of which are already manufactured in 1958. And the workers! I will collect a steampunk-style garland for NG and turn it on a tree in the yard! Here grandparents will be happy! yahoo dance2 I have a question, can someone tell me? The largest lamps at 60 volts, 4.8 watts. 1958 ex. Where could they be applied? scratch

I also made such a stray as I needed from an inoperative light bulb and an old tee, sawing off the excess length of the plug contacts and soldering wires to them.



everything works .

And where is it written that a bulb should stick out in the center?
Not the bulb in the center should stick out, but the wire from the center of the bulb
Here it is, a light bulb, and here it is, a wire from the center. Urgently remodel, otherwise a misfortune!

And where is it written that a bulb should stick out in the center? The one with 2 wires coming out, which is thinner, has a cartridge at the end under the E27 base. I did it for my tasks. There will be a light bulb (but not one) and music will be and much more. xaxa And do not try to write that the base will not stand and burn. No one will connect electric stoves through this stray. boss

It doesn’t matter where is the light bulb from the center of which the wire should stick out? A light bulb WHERE?

This is what “rogues” look like in my version, using socles from useless energy-saving ones.

For 1 time yesterday I made 4 pieces. While I was preparing, several ideas came, therefore I did 4. It is clear that 2 wires come out in one at once.
Filled with epoxy "Hvat", the adhesive is equally component.
In the manufacture, it must be borne in mind that in most energy savers in one of the wires from the base there is a fuse or an explosive resistor. It is located in the heat shrink tube and is sometimes not visually detectable. You have to feel with your fingers. This fuse or resistor must be removed, otherwise it will burn when a drill, perforator, etc. is connected.

It is completely incomprehensible that in this stray innovative. Well, there is no extension cord of sufficient length on hand. Well, the author guessed where to get food for a drill or some other tool. Then what? The thing is one-time, never come in handy again.Yes, every day we come up with something for our convenience.
In general, there is no topic for discussion, but here 27 comments !!!

I tried to get the driver, but it was soldered. Therefore, I drilled. Maybe you have a different manufacturer. And he made a removable driver

Of course, I do not remember already. But I know from my parents' conversations that electric meters were not always there! They paid first based on what kind of light bulb you have! ))))
Grandfather explained. To my question, what does he mean when, reproaching a grandmother who "loved" dim bulbs, he said "Yes, it doesn’t matter what kind of bulb you have! We’ll pay for the bill now!" ...
And then, when, in addition to the light bulbs, the sockets appeared, they set the counters ...
By the way, two “traffic jams” above the counter are the same “legacy” of two phases.

It was possible to have a socket, only it was necessary to pay for it.
According to the stories of the parents, the garrison in Karakum (the father was a military man) fed an energy train, I’m not sure, but maybe there was no outlet there? scratch

That's right, but I named the price of 4 products. 100 x 4. And socles from burned-out energy savers (do not buy). ShVVP, do not buy sockets, stayed, maybe got xaxa

P.S. I have already collected 4 pcs. Now I will direct the epoxy and fill it. 3 will be required soon, 1 in stock. Like this. boast

And I myself still remember, the truth was a kid! The inspectors, when they saw the radio, were asked where to turn them on. Mom, naively, showed! They laughed so much that they did not fine! xaxa

Why are you so impolite about my friend the store director?
First of all, your acquaintance is not interested in the work of his store (as I understand it is a specialized one, and an electrician is not a related product there), otherwise he would suggest bringing what is needed. Secondly, in any specialized store there are catalogs of goods that you must offer in order to understand what you want from them. And thirdly, maybe your acquaintance is a good administrator, but does not know the assortment of his store, which means "not Copenhagen" in these matters. Or maybe you still don’t
Really I did not think to do this.
(ask).
I have never seen these "crooks" in our stores before, although our city has more than a million inhabitants.
My town barely totals 60 thousand and in at least three shops, one of which is generally just a hardware store, I saw this “gadget”.

Why are you so impolite about my friend the store director? What we are talking about, the product is "not running", so I did not see it, having visited five or six stores.What are the directors worthless, as you put it? Of course he could bring me in a week or two. It’s just that in a couple of hours I’ll collect them from the existing “rubbish”, three or four such extension adapters and the issue will be resolved. It will cost me 0 rubles 0 kopecks. And then they will pay me not 400 rubles, based on the price announced by Korolev, but several times more. And you continue to talk further about the appropriateness of this work.

P. S. I have never seen these "crooks" in our stores before, although our city has more than a million inhabitants.

My adapter has been in the bins for many years, as it didn’t come in handy ...
I also needed one at a time, and for a time shorter than required for its manufacture, so I just bought it. yes

Who can remember the purpose and time of the appearance of the "rogue" and how did his name form?
As far as I know, in the first half of the last century in some settlements there were problems with electricity supply, one light bulb relied on the room, the wiring was open, on ceramic rollers, inspectors checked! But the goal of fiction is tricky, if you can’t plug in a socket, a "rogue" is screwed in! scratch

I have a familiar director in the nearest electro goods store.
Or shitty friend, or shitty director, but rather both. I also have a familiar owner of such a store, which is currently not available in the store brings a maximum of a week (it goes twice a week for goods). For example: I needed a 32 A “bypass” machine for a voltage regulator, a thing that rarely broke down, in the store (s) this was definitely not there, on the base too (they called me with me), but a week later I had it.

subject, as well as the fact that the energy saver is better, unless you need to shine where you turn. My adapter has been in the bins for many years, as it didn’t come in handy ... and patenting too unnecessarily ...

Without "dancing with a tambourine," everything is much simpler: the extension cable is soldered to the base from the usual LON
. -found such a thing in ..... no matter where. I thought for a long time what kind of garbage the Soviet electricians got sick of. So Ivan enlightened me. True, the wire was not there already.

Without “dancing with a tambourine,” everything is much simpler: an extension cable is sealed into the base of the usual LON, and a piece of PCB (or other strong plastic) is inserted into the middle of the cartridge, for which we will screw-unscrew it and fill it with epoxy. For use by unauthorized persons, you will still have to make an insulating kruglyash on the base so that the hand does not accidentally touch it.

Also a secret to me !!! When the children (grandchildren) shout “The Christmas tree light up” in chorus, it’s more convenient to click the switch behind them than to plug the plug into the socket! )))

Khatul MadanYou do not think that I save on a penny device. They just did not come across to me. I will not look around the city, but order it to wait. And here they are, 4 already found. ShVVP, plugs, sockets are. By the New Year, I need it and a lot. So far the secret.

"crooks" have not yet come across in stores
And when I recently had a similar situation, I just asked the seller in the store electricians, I was surprised by the assortment, although I really did not see it in the windows! The issue price is less than 100 rubles. yes

I was not mistaken. Here it is, the E27 base from a burned-out energy saver.

I cut off a board that could not be repaired. Wires are visible. It remains ...
This is the theme of one of my next homemade products. The copyright for it is mine, as evidenced by the matchbox next to it. The main persons of the site know that I often confirm my authorship to them. The most interesting will be what I will use it for. I will show you later.

Moreover, I was about to drill a base, but I remembered that I had several disassembled energy savers lying around. I wanted to fix them, this sometimes happens. But these are all hopeless. well, that did not throw. If I don’t confuse, then they already have wires from the base !!!!!!! I’ll make three pieces of such an adapter)))))) I already know where to apply all three.

The bottom contact did not need to be drilled - it is calmly removed - to pry it with a knife .. almost all of the current bulbs.

And I recently had a similar situation, but the "crooks" have not yet come across in stores. For several days, the E27 base has been lying in front of me from a burnt out light bulb. I read the article. The idea is not bad. And the LED bulb is almost new, recently screwed into the chandelier. Washes away, redo it, but what if I ditch it? xaxa But, thanks to this article, I figured out how to do it without touching the light bulb using this base yahoo Therefore, I like the author. If I do not forget, I will show what I did.

How are "dancing with a tambourine" justified in order to get a light bulb with a wire sticking out from the center, and how is it better than a penny "rogue"?
It seems that with an accidental jerk over the extension cord, its plug will simply drop out of the penny "rogue" outlet. Trite! The purpose of modernization is to get a good "BANG!" in the same situation! Extreme! xaxa
P.S. Well, instead of simply replacing a failed bulb in a penny "rogue", we will redo the "upgraded" one time! xaxa

Then I remembered this adapter and decided to make myself one. But its functionality is very limited, so I upgraded it a little.
. I would like to clarify what is the extension of the functionality, if there are reservations
When using, be careful not to pull the cable out of the bulb.
