The author made this lamp for a long time and its main idea was that the lampshade could be changed periodically. The lampshade itself is made of plain A4 paper and has a printed calendar on it, you can also print any other picture of your choice and discretion, even a photograph.
Also, in addition to the usual calendar, the author added a lunar calendar, it turned out such a universal 2in1. The resulting sheet is attached to the luminaire with ordinary stationery buttons (preferably with a decorative head). Please note ATTENTION! The use of conventional incandescent lamps with such a lampshade is strictly prohibited, for fire safety purposes, only energy-saving and LED (8-9 W) can be used

A replaceable lampshade is very cool, because if you are tired of a picture it can easily be replaced with another. For an example, the author first used an ordinary drawing of this kind.Then on the computer I installed a program for compiling calendars and amounted to 100 years ahead)))The author is also an avid summer resident and the gardener, and he simply needs the lunar calendar, which he also successfully printed.For the lampshade, the master printed 2 calendars together on one A4 sheet, which is very convenient for the author.Next, the old lampshade is removed, it is fastened with clerical clips with gilded heads.The lamp itself is also home-made, made of 25 mm board and 15 mm wide, varnished.An energy-saving light bulb is screwed into the cartridge, it is also possible to use LEDs, but in no case DO NOT SCREW! incandescent lamps!!!The cartridge is screwed to the base, and the wire is threaded through the hole.In addition, a foil reflector is installed.And then everything is simple, simple, we attach a new lampshade with a calendar using push pins.Please note there should be a gap between the lamp and the sheet.That's actually such a wonderful lampshade for the lamp turned out)As you see, everything is very, very simple, even a child can do it) The lampshade calendar is quite unusual and even unique, which is important in our time.
