Beautiful night light from an ordinary light bulb

Today, there are many original workshops on assembling beautiful lamps for lighting a children's room and bedroom. Some models of home-made nightlights can be assembled from improvised materials in no more than an hour.

Let's start manufacturing.

Materials:
1. Incandescent lamp 65 watts.
2. Hair gel.
3. Empty jar of cream.
4. LED (yellow, 2.1V, 20mA).
5. Resistor (100 ohms).
6. Power supply (samsung, 4.7V, 0.5A).


Instruments:
1. Glue gun.
2. Soldering iron (tin, flux ...)
3. The knife.
4. Long nose pliers.

First, take a light bulb and carefully remove all the "insides". The upper part (which is black) is removed with the help of scissors.

And we get out the rest with the help of long-nose pliers, you need to do this very carefully so as not to get hurt and damage the lamp.

We proceed to the manufacture of the housing. We make a hole for the power cable on the side, I did this with a heated screwdriver.

On the cover itself, we make holes with a diameter of 2.5 cm., Under the thread of the bulb.

Pour the tube of gel into the light bulb. The gel is best used in bright colors, I had only transparent.

On the 65W lamp, it took me about 130 ml. gel.

Here we have such a beautiful blank.

Go to electronics our night light, initially we pass the cable through the hole.

We take our LED and solder a 100 Ohm resistor to it, to any leg.

Next, solder the power cable to the LED with a resistor. To know where the "+ and -" LEDs are, you just need to look at the internal contacts of the LED, the large contact "-" small "+". We shrink the shrink tube in advance.

We solder and isolate all the contacts.

I did not completely fit the heat shrink tube, additionally insulated with electrical tape. Isolation, MANDATORY !!!

Screw the bulb into the cover. And fix the glue from the inside.


Also carefully glue on the outside.

We insert our LED into the gel lamp, and glue it so that the gel does not leak.

We perform this procedure several times, for good tightness. In the end, this is what should happen.

We fix the cable with hot-melt adhesive so that there are no cable creases.And assemble the entire structure.

The result is an inexpensive nightlight made from improvised materials that will surprise you and your loved ones.

To be honest, I didn’t understand why you said this ... When I wrote that
“We live off of what we sold. Therefore, almost everything is produced in our country!”
, I just had in mind that Belarus was imposed sanctions after all, a long time ago, and only recently they were lifted ... And therefore, we have launched an import substitution program for a long time, and therefore almost all groups of goods are produced in Belarus, and lamps are no exception . (True, they were produced before that. The Brest Tube Plant, for example, has not stopped since the times of the USSR. The assortment just changed.).

Valery, I want to clarify.
I meant that we live by the rule that if one person broke, then the other, according to anyone, can be repaired, and at his expense can earn a living.

You will forgive, but you said something clumsily. Everyone earns as he can. What does the other mean anyway will fix it?
A simple example: - I bake bread. My dough mixing machine broke down. Locksmith (specialist) repaired it, earned the money with which he went to the store and bought bread for himself.
Anyone will not fix it, just like bread will not bake.

In general, we have LON E-27s at 25, 40, 60, 75, 100, 150 Watts ...

yes So you buy them from us and we are like that too. .

I do not know if we are purchasing. (In Brest, a kilometer from me, an electric lamp factory, for example. And it is not the only one in the republic). Maybe the Russians bring in for the assortment, I didn’t pay attention ... (Our economy is export-oriented. We live on the basis of what we sold. Therefore, we produce almost everything! It is imported only for the assortment.) But the standards are exactly as I listed.
There are also at 7, 15, ..... 200, 300, 500 ..... 1000 watts
General purpose lamps with 27th socket? Oh well ... We have 7 and 15 - only E12 and E14 saw. And the 27th “fifteen” has never met.
Like everything that is more than 200 tons of watt - with us it comes only with the E40.
So I say that the difference is surprising - we don’t have all the bulbs with the 27th base of any power ... It would be somehow strange to see a half-kilogram “bomb” twisted into an ordinary cartridge.))))
As for 95-k, it was also surprising. Well, they do not meet the standards, as far as I understand ... And your Russian standards are greatly transformed? ...
We have a STB (Standard of Belarus), but it only affects the new. And the old is done according to GOSTs. They are valid and no one has canceled them. Therefore, general-purpose incandescent lamps are produced according to GOSTs, and special and new ones (diodes and compact luminescent lamps) are already manufactured according to STB.
What is imported is subject to mandatory certification, and must also comply with standards ...

These authors rated the homemade work very correctly and, most importantly, in all respects.
I completely agree with you.

A very dangerous homemade product for a child’s room, the child will break it, cut it and all the gel will be with glass in his mouth. The electrical part is also very dangerous ... it can also be done on a battery .. 1 lithium battery will shine for 5 years.

You have not seen everything. We don’t sell lamps of 100 watts, only 95. Because starting from 100 watts in our country are prohibited (another concern of the government for us). And by the way, 65 is there too.

When they scoff at an instrument, my heart bleeds, it’s hard to watch the scissors and the screwdriver blunt. And, by the way, the "gel", as well as the "tulle" and "shampoo", are masculine.

When incandescent lamps of 100 W and higher were banned, 95 W lamps appeared.

By the way, about regional differences .... (Not relevant) ... For the first time I hear about a 65-watt lamp. I saw only 60s, and the next - 75s ... In general, we have LON E-27s at 25, 40, 60, 75, 100, 150 Watts ...

A very interesting idea. At least with the proper approach, you get an interesting and stylized thing!
... Only I would have made a hole for the lamp more precisely, so that the lamp screwed tightly, stretching the walls a little, and glue to fix only from the inside. Outside, he ... not camillepho! )))))
