- Super glue;
- adhesive coupling for 50 mm pipe;
- white spray paint;
- masking tape;
- PVC glue;
- sifted sand;
- LED Strip Light.
Lamp manufacturing process
A tube cut from a 2 liter PET bottle will be used as a light diffuser in the lamp.
It needs to be put on a 90 mm sewer pipe and carefully seated with an installation hairdryer.
Then the workpiece is removed and trimmed evenly.
Next, you need to glue a transparent tube from a bottle with a long and narrow piece of sewer pipe with superglue.
Then you need to make the top cap. To do this, a wall is cut out of a section of a large pipe and leveled using a hair dryer.
A coupling for 50 mm pipes is glued in the center to the resulting round blank with a diameter of 90 mm.
White spray paint should be used to paint the inside of the transparent part of the lamp body made from a PET bottle. After this, the previously made plug is glued to hot glue.
The transparent part of the lamp body is wrapped with masking tape.
Then all surfaces are coated with PVC glue and sprinkled with sifted sand. Next, the tape is torn off and the workpiece is dried.
From a 50 mm pipe you need to cut a piece of the same length as the lamp body. A hole is made in it at the edge for entering the power wire, after which the LED strip is glued. You will need 1 m of tape. This will be enough for almost 7 turns. You can take 220V tape, it is cut in multiples of a meter. When using it, you do not need a 12 V power supply.
Next, the tube with the tape and the connected power wire is inserted inside the lamp body. There it is put on the coupling glued into the lid. Ready-made lamps can be mounted on poles or simply dug in along garden paths. The result is a very beautiful backlight, from which it is impossible to determine that everything in it was made by hand. It does not take much time to assemble it, so making lamps is quite justified.
