If you think to drastically change the appearance of your room or want to supplement the home interior of the loft loft, then try to make the Loft style chandelier from the pipes with your own hands! Master classes with photos will help you with this.

By the way, Loft settled in the interiors relatively recently - approximately 60 years ago, and to this day is interesting to a variety of design concepts. It is appropriate as in large studios, where the living room is combined with dining room and in small-sized rooms. Loft lamps do it yourself - this is a compromise between fashion and style, extravagant and everyday life.

The usual items appear before us in the new light - this is the lamp of Loft with their own hands. The feature is long chains for hanging to the ceiling, non-standard lampshades or compositions from a variety of simple lamps and use.

Make a loft lamp from pipes is quite simple, read 4 master class - see for yourself!

Materials and tools

  • 5 large pear light bulbs;
  • 10 brass (copper) tubes - 5 short and 5 long;
  • fitting on the diameter of the tubes;
  • 1 The longest brass tube is the suspension axis (to the ceiling);
  • 5 adjustable brass hinges;
  • 5 ceramic cartridges for light bulbs;
  • two-housing connecting wire (in order to go through copper tubes freely);
  • electrical cable;
  • insulating tape;
  • screwdriver.

Luster manufacturing technology

Step 1

  1. We make wiring. To do this, unscrew the lid of the cartridges and connect the wire to each of them, as shown in the photo.
  2. Note Wires through the tubes, Then with the help of hinges we connect short tubes with long.
  3. Cut off the wire, leaving several centimeters for twist With the main cable, which will be connected to the power grid on the ceiling.
  4. We screw the edge of the tube into the cartridge.

Step 2.

  • Screw the "legs" The future chandelier in the fitting and again make a wiring: white wires twist with white residential, and black - with black, as shown in the photo. Watching the current-carrying parts with a tape.
  • Carefully refuel cable inside the main brass tubeon which the chandelier will hold. Fix on the ceiling. After all, we screw the bulbs.



It turned out a urban chandelier, which the light of large lamps combines the simplicity and election of an industrial or elevator of the style.

Master Class number 2: Loft chandelier

Following modern coverage of lighting, it is necessary to take into account the economy of not only energy-saving lamps, but also the chandeliers themselves. For example, from healthy materials - try to make a simple, bright, ergonomic luminaire in Loft style from polymer water pipesAfter reading the next master class.

Materials and tools

  1. Ceiling outlet;
  2. 12 splitters (cartridges for lamps);
  3. polymer pipes
  4. 12 small light bulbs;
  5. caller with gold paint (or any other);
  6. paper or newspaper.

Assembly process

Step 1.

  • To begin with, we will develop a chandelier model and connect all splitters with each other.
  • Here only your fantasy works, but you can make a symmetrical chandelier, creating tree structure. Screw on each side the same number of cartridges (branches).

Step 2.

  • Pull paper or newspaper for painting the future chandelier.
  • Mobile with a spray from all sides. We leave for drying.

If necessary, after drying, you can cross the second layer. The ceiling outlet is missing from the front side.

Step 3.

After everything dried, you can attach the chandelier to the ceiling. If it suits you, throw light bulbs And enjoy your creation!

Over time, maybe you want to change it - then you can make another combination of branches and the chandelier will shine in a new way!


Master Class No. 3: Loft Table Lamp

Reliable, easy to manufacture desktop paw in an industrial style is suitable for working in the office or at home. It is almost through the pipeline "sheds" cold or warm white light, in which it is pleasant to work or engage in your hobby.

Tools and materials

  1. One long nipple;
  2. one short nipple;
  3. 6 car melts;
  4. 6 short nipples for the compound of squares;
  5. 3 plumbing tees;
  6. electric drill;
  7. cord with socket and switch;
  8. glue-gun (hot glue);
  9. insulating tape.

Instructions for manufacture

Step 1.

  1. First you need to clean all pipes With White Spirit or Special PurifierIf there are stickers - you need to remove them.
  2. During work, the cord with the switch will have to touch through pipesSo so far I cut the switch - it will be later put in place.


Step 2.

  • Insert the lamp into the socket and drag the cord through the square.
  • To keep the cartridge with a lamp fasten it with glue pistol, pouring the cavity in the kitchen, as shown in the photo.
  • You need to pour carefully, not reaching the thread.
  • Leave the glue drying.

Step 4.

Prepare a hole for the cord on the other side. For this, the electric drill is drilled in one of the tees.

First, imagine how the lamp will stand on the table, only then mark the drilling point and drill the item.


Step 5.

  • We collect pipes on the thread using nipples, as shown in the photo.
  • It should turn out: 4 cornersAs the base of the table lamp, 3 tees are twisted with each other, the factory hole is directed upward, and the opposite, down, with the invisible side.
  • Two nipples are interconnected - this is a lamp holder. In the course of the assembly, we drag the cable through the tubes.

Step 6.

We disassemble the switch that was cut. I pull out the former wires and with the help of the isol we make a new twist, connect the ends of the wire to the appropriate channels in the switch. Collect the switch again.

Step 7.

Check how the switch works and whether the type and stability of the lamp arranges you. If something is wrong, in such a practical design it is easy to fix with the rotation of the parts.

Sustainable, comfortable and completely unexpected design lamp can feel free to refer to an indispensable companion of your evenings!

You can also still make a very stylish table lamp of copper pipes or empty bottles, master class of these 2 lamps - in the material

Master class No. 4. Lamp in industrial style

If you like products with a production design, if at home or in the garage you want to install industrial lamps - look at the next master class and, most likely, you will see what has been looking for a long time. Simplicity of manufacture and urban design.

Instruments

  • Lamp with grille;
  • 2 black plumbing nipples;
  • conductive cable;
  • sanitary coce and tee;
  • 2 metal flange on the diameter of the cartridge;
  • screws and screwdriver.

Installation instructions

Step 1.

  1. Remove the lattice from the lamp. If she approaches your interior - you can leave. Remove the patron.
  2. To the patron attach the metal flangeAs shown in the photo.

Step 2.

Consistently connect the details of the chandeliers: flange, to it - a tee, then nipple, corner, again nipple, connected to the Second Flange, all the time pulling the wire through the tubes.

Step 4.

Check the length of the cord from the outlet to the height on which the chandelier will be installed. While you will not arrange the height of the switch - do not join the lamp to the cartridge.

Variate the cable length until you find the optimal length. After that, you can make a twist.

Step 5.

Fix the flange on the wall with the help of screws and the screwdriver, because The design is not very heavy. It turns out, the wire hangs just from the hole of the tee.

Turn on the outlet and enjoy a small designer element in the style of a large city!

Loft style chandeliers focus on the technique of solutions, clarity of forms, without excessive solemnity, pompousness. It is a big city style, spacious household rooms, where there is no luxury, but there must be a lot of light and labor, creativity.

What else can I make loft lamps

Loft style chandeliers deny the parade and chic with their own hands, but they fit well into households and other interiors due to the continuity of modern currents and, of course, lept everyone who manufactures it.

From wood

Also a very simple loft lamp, as the photo above can be made of wood - master class in the article.

From plastic

The process of processing is very relevant in the Loft style. For this, different banks and bottles will be suitable. We also have ready ideas and master classes.

From glass and wood

Glass and wood are favorite and frequently used materials in the loft. Therefore, the lamp created from them will always look harmonious and stylish. Make this religious thing as in the photo above - (no estimate)

Creative ideas often occur unexpectedly and, it seems to be empty. But their material implementation gives such dividends that the costs of their embodiment in reality seem to be meager. Today we will try to make a decorative lamp at first glance at first glance, which will not leave anyone indifferent.

Need

To materialize this creative idea in a wonderful product, we need to have:
  • cut 10-centimeter PVC pipes about 30 cm long;
  • paper;
  • wooden box or a 12 × 6 × 30 cm timing;
  • a small piece of matte PVC plastic;
  • electrical materials (wire, plug, cartridge, light bulb).
You should also get:
  • metal line and marker;
  • dremel;
  • milling with nozzles;
  • sickle knife;
  • emery paper;
  • spray color paint;
  • adhesive pistol.

Algorithm for the manufacture of the lamp from PVC pipe


On the pipe blank, we mark a plot with a length of 24 cm. With a sheet of paper, we perform circular lines on the side surface of the plastic tube.


Under the circular marking, we cut off with the help of a mini-grinder excess from the pipe billet from plastic.


We have on the desktop a wooden box that will perform the template functions. Once again, check its dimensions by section: they must be 12 × 6 cm, which is acceptable as a template for PVC pipe with a diameter of 10 cm.


Cut the sheet of paper into the harness and set fire to it from one end from the external source of fire (lighters, matches, etc.).
The heat energy from the burning sheet of paper will be quite enough to soften the material of the plastic pipe mainly on the one hand. This method for those who do not have a construction hairdryer.


Then quickly, while plastic cooled, we insert the wooden pattern inside the pipe and form a rectangular one from the round, pushing the wooden trumpet box until it appears on the other side of the pipe blank.


The template in the pipe is left for a while until the plastic cools and does not accept the steady rectangular shape of the section, after which it can be deleted from there. Making sure that the form of a rectangular plastic element turned out without flaws, process the ends mini-drill, removing burrs and twisting the edges. The round ring remaining from the cutting of the plastic pipe, we use as a template to reproduce the circle in the center of a wide side of the plastic rectangular element.
With the help of a manual milling mill, we cut the circle along the applied markup and we clean the edge of the resulting hole, changing the nozzle.


At some and equal to the distance from the edge of the opening, we plan 23 points evenly arranged around the circumference of a large circle. We perform on the applied laying of 23 small holes of the same diameter. With a sickle knife, carefully remove burrs from all holes.


On the front side of the rectangular workpiece where one large and 23 small holes have already been performed, there are two symmetrically located slots with an indent from the ends of 1.5 cm and a width of 1.5 cm, which will be held on the side sides of the workpiece, slightly to the opposite wide part.


Gently cut out the slot with the help of a mini-drill and a cutting disc and remove the plastic strips, helping yourself with a sickle knife. They also cleaned the edges of the slots.


On the back side of the workpiece of the case of the lamp from one end, we conceive and drill a mini-drill two small holes are one below the other and we clean them with a sick-like knife.


A small piece of emery paper of suitable grainability is finally grinding all the places of cutting and drilling of the lamp housing.
We put paint from the aerosol can of the future body of our homemade lamp and make sure it lay evenly over the entire surface and without incl.



In accordance with the size of the luminaire case, 12 × 6 × 24 cm are placed for the cutting sheet of translucent PVC plastic and cut a piece of 24 × 24 cm with scissors. We carry out the marker on the line two straight parallel to the edges and at a distance of 6 cm from them.


Bend the plastic sheet according to the straight lines conducted and we obtain a P-shaped profile, which insert into the luminaire case so that the wide side fit from the inside to the front panel and overlap the large and small holes.


We glue the P-shaped matte plastic with a glue gun to the housing of the lamp at the corners and give the connection to harden and grab.


We skip the copper two-housing wire through the upper hole, made on the back side of the lamp body so that the cartridge at one end end is inside the case.


To the second end of the wire, the electric plug is dripped, and in the cartridge we screw the incandescent light bulb with a colored flask power of no more than 5 watts in order to preserve plastic, from which our lamp is mainly assembled.


We turn on the plug into the electrical outlet so that inside the case of our homemade light bulb caught fire. As a result, we will witness an unusually beautiful glow of our decorative lamp, the effect of which will increase even more if placing it in a dark place.


Attention!

Plastic dust represents a serious danger to your health, so the mask on the respiratory organs will be quite unchecked for all the time of operation on the lamp from PVC pipe. Also, gloves and safety glasses will not interfere.

We often meet articles described how to create unusual, but at the same time useful things for your home or apartments from unnecessary materials, which, for example, remained after repair. Also, crafts can be made of plastic bottles, disposable dishes, traffic jams, and the like. But in this article we will talk about such a material as PVC pipes that are needed according to the rules and are used in the sewage system, but now we will describe how from this material to make a useful thing, such as a lamp from PVC pipes.

From a completely simple and inexpensive material, you can create something fabulous and fantastic, here the most important thing is to have skillful hands and a rich fantasy, the rest is less than small. Thanks to these good qualities, you can create beautiful and beautiful night lights in the form of lamps.

In fact, we do not know who the first thought to this idea and created such beauty as a lamp of PVC pipes, but in our time such a needlework are engaged in people of such nationalities, like Brazilians, Argentines, Australians and Chinese, but not exception is our country Russia.

To exercise a beautiful craft, we list the materials and tools that we need during work:

1. Drill with sufficient and diverse set of nozzles that have different thickness and can still be distinguished by types of grinding, we will need abrasive grinding tips.

2. PVC pipe. When choosing, you need to take into account the size, that is, the diameter, it should be in the range from 25 to 55 centimeters. At the same time, provide a place in which your night light and the size of the pattern will be either hanging, which you will cut on the pipeline.

Wireless lamp from PVC pipe

If you do not want to spend a lot of time and efforts on the implementation of the luminaire from the pipes, then you can only work with a single drill. But if you wish, perform a volumetric and complex drawing in its composition, then for this you need to turn on the operation from small to large holes, complex rhinestones, work with the thickness of the pipe walls, removal of external layers to give volume and aesthetics and, of course, giving effect 3d some details.

Before starting the execution of patterns and rhinestones on a lightweight device, we define what size we need a lamp. The main criteria for the size of the pipe are its diameter and height. If the sizes are determined with the sizes, then proceed to the selection of templates and stencils for the desired pattern you want to portray on your device. The floral type of drawing, landscape or a banal ornament, and the like, choose your taste can be served as patterns.

The silhouette of the selected pattern is transferred to the pipe is very simple, but at the same time convenient method, at the same time it is paid to the edges from above and below. Before you start taking into account the desired hole size in the pipe diameter in order for drills to approach your ideas. A good idea can be a very simple option, for example, you do not need to draw and cut various drawings, you can simply cut a beautiful decorative lamp using drawn holes of different diameters.

A very elegant drawing is obtained when the light halftone is used in operation. This effect and quality can be obtained when the outer layer of the pipe is removed using abrasive tips, that is, PVC. The more layers you remove the greater the transparent effect and the light will be much brighter in these places than on a simple surface.

To give a lamp from PVC pipes of the 3D format effect, it is necessary to attach the parts that will perform beyond the walls of the pipe, it is necessary to begin to thinning them with the help of the most tips that were used during the impression of the light halftone, after making these works, we cut out the form using Special Building Know.

To give the aesthetics and the final effect, we take a construction hairdryer (it gives more intense heating), heating the form to the state of elasticity and bend it to the side. We leave the shape alone and wait for its cooling when it cools it will remain in the same condition in which you fucked it during heating.

Such a lamp at the end of the work can not even be painted, the natural color of the pipes (white) in the design of your home or the apartment will fit completely unhindered. But still, if you want to give a lamp color design, it does not take much time and a lot of effort, just need paint from an aerosol can.

Upon completion of work from the decorations, it costs to move to work that will answer all practical issues. So, for the craft performed, you need a very durable and stable regiment, or the basis, at your discretion, because the PVC pipe lamp should stand steadily, as it weighs a lot and in size it is rather big too.

As light in your device there may be different types of lighting with lamps. It is recommended to use energy-saving lamps, because they will not allow the walls of the lamp from PVC pipes overheat and deform at the same time a decorative shell. To give a more decorative lamp, you can use during the lighting of the garland, it will be very interesting.

Copyright lighting appliances are sold at a well-known price. In fact, make a lamp from pipes on its own, no problems. This does not require acquiring expensive materials or in-depth knowledge of electrical engineering. Consider several options for self-made lighting elements from cropping various pipes.

Table lamp

The original tube lamp will bring in the highlight. The design can be collected from cropping existing in the farm or buy material in a shopping store. After the acquisition of all materials for collecting the lamp will require no more than an hour.

Among the required components:

  • Long and short nipple.
  • Six carcases for pipes.
  • As many small nipples that serve as clauses of corners.
  • Three destinations.
  • Drill.
  • Wire with switch and fork.
  • Insulating tape.
  • Hot glue.

First, all pipes are treated with solvent, the stickers are cleaned. The light element is inserted into the socket, after which the wire is dragged through the square. The cartridge with a light bulb is fixed with the help of glue. The design is processed carefully, so as not to affect the thread, after which it is left before drying the adhesive composition.

The main stages of work

The subsequent assembly of the luminaire from pipes is carried out in such a sequence:

  • A hole in the tee for the wire from the opposite side is prepared with an electric drill.
  • Pipes are collected by carving through the use of nipples.
  • As the base, 4 corners are taken, three tees twist with each other, the standard hole is directed upwards, and the homemade nest is in the lower invisible part.
  • Two interconnected nipples will serve as a holder.
  • The cable without switch stretches through the pipes.
  • Collect and connects the switch.
  • The functionality of the collected from the pipes is checked.

This design is easy to fix if you are not satisfied with the resulting design. As a result, it turns out a great and inexpensive night light or working table lamp.

Wall variant

The luminaire of the pipes, the photo of which is given above, is made as follows:

  • From the old street lamp, the lattice is removed. If she fits into the interior, this is not necessary.
  • A piping flange is attached to the cartridge, which will serve as the basis fixed on the wall.
  • Then it is connected to a tee, nipple and a corner. Another flange is attached, then the wiring through the pipes is pulled.
  • Adjusts the height of the lamp placement.
  • The lamp is connected to the cartridge, and the switch is mounted.
  • The flange is attached to the wall with screws, the device is checked.

The following materials will be required for the operation:

  • Lamp with or without lattice.
  • A pair of black nipples of sanitary destination.
  • Cable.
  • Two metal flanges, the diameter of which coincides with the size of the cartridge.
  • Screwdriver and fixing screws.

Loft-lamps made of pipes with concrete base

The ceiling is made of several wooden hoars for embroidery and watercolor paper. The whole process is divided into form preparation, the manufacture of concrete base, the connection of the wiring, assembly and fixation of the pipes, as well as the arrangement of the lampsion. The fill container can be taken from plastic, its dimensions should be sufficient to withstand the weight of the entire structure.

Starts:

  1. With the help of the knife, the hole is done under the cable.
  2. Wire for reinforcement is placed in the container.
  3. The cord is done through the pipes with the desired reserve.
  4. To marking the exit of wires from the solution, use the marking tape.

The cord must enter the cement mixture in the location of the connection to the switch, then fed through the middle part of the pipe flange, in which the hole is provided.

Finishing part

Further manufacture of the luminaire of water pipes is divided into several stages:

  • A cement solution is made, which is poured into the prepared form.
  • The switch is recorded on the same level with the surface. Note that it does not drow in the mixture.
  • Mounted flange on top of the solution, four fastening screws are fastened through holes.
  • After preparing the foundation, they make the wires through the pipes, carrying out their fastening to the flange.
  • Then there is a free edge of the cables to the cartridge, after which the latter is attached inside the pipe.
  • A light bulb is screwed, the switch is connected and turned over.
  • Low power lamp can be left open.
  • For a powerful lighting element, you will need to build a ceiling. For this, they take two hoops and watercolor paper, the seam is treated with joinery glue.
  • This design allows you to select any color and used fabric coating.
  • The finished lamp shade is fastened with small screws, which are screwed in the inner part of the hoop from above, or a thin wire fixed on the supplemental fan of the pipe.

LED lamp

PVC tube is optimally suitable for this instrument. It is worth noting that this option is equipped with autonomous food. The design of the lamp is as simple as possible, anyone wants to collect it with a minimum of tools and materials. It will take several cuts of a larger pipe for the base, including corners and fittings, as well as the PFC pipe of a smaller diameter for the rack. The system uses a power resistor at least 1 watt. This indicator is designed for 6 LEDs.

The chain is connected in the standard way. It is recommended to use the type. This will allow you to quickly do the nest under it in the pipe and will not require the cutting of additional elements in the form of a rectangle under the slide switch. In addition, the switch should not be instantaneous, otherwise you will have to constantly hold the button for the device. The lamp from PVC pipes is equipped with a lampsure. Its painting is carried out in several layers. Otherwise, when the diodes are enabled, a divorce or non-uniformity of processing will be visible. The battery of the suitable container is mounted at a distance of 80 millimeters from the edge of the pipe at the base. You can also adjust the switch. The main thing is that these details do not interfere with each other.

Loft-chandelier from pipes

Modern trends in the organization of lighting often require not only the economy of the lamp elements, but also the chandeliers themselves. They can be created independently from the primary materials, while obtaining an original and inexpensive design. For example, it is available to make a ceiling lamp from plastic pipes. For this, the following components will be required:

  • Ceiling outlet.
  • 12 branches for cartridges and light bulbs.
  • Polymer water pipes.
  • 12 small lamps.
  • Caller with special paint.
  • Paper.
  • Ceiling outlet.

Work begins with the development of a chandelier model and compounding branching among themselves. You can create both a symmetric design and the original author's model (it all depends on your imagination). Next dismissed the paper on which the color will be held. Perform painting from all sides and leave the lamp to dry. The ceiling outlet is painted from the visible side. If necessary, spraying on the chandelier can be reused. Then it remains only to connect the design to the ceiling with the help of screws and the flange, as well as screw the lamps. Check the design and enjoy a unique product. By the way, if the configuration of the lamp is getting tired, it can be transformed in a few minutes to another style.

Adjustable table lamp: initial manufacturing process

This luminaire made of pipes, made by their own hands, is distinguished by the fact that it can be adjusted by departure and height. Many spare parts are available to find at home, so it is also profitable, as well as non-standard.

Materials used:

  • Cycling star.
  • A pair of metal pipes with semi-leaf thread (length - 450 mm).
  • Flange.
  • Fitting.
  • Two knees for 45 and 90 degrees.
  • Two copper tubes on ¾.
  • Socket.
  • Polymer sleeve.
  • Electrical cable.

An asterisk from a bike will perform the foundation of the base. Holes drill holes under the flange, after which it is painted. Then the iron tube is screwed into the flange. The upper part of the element is attached to the base of the lamp, and the second part with a large diameter is set in such a way that the slip effect appears. This will allow you to lean the upper part of the design by moving the top tube.

Finishing part

To fix the pipe in the lower compartment, a hole for a fixing screw is drilled. The pipe with a diameter ¾ is soldered, which will allow compliance with the center, as well as get the original look. You can use a bolt ¼ as a stopper, which is attached to the outer handle of the crane. The ceiling can be made in one of the methods described above by attaching it with the help of screws, painting copper or gold paint.

The rubber sleeve is mounted in the opposite end of the fitting, after which the end of the wire is cut and stretched inside the pipe to the cartridge. The lamp is screwed into the cartridge, around which the casing is clamped. A similar lamp of water pipes will provide an opportunity to provide the desired amount of light under various conditions. At the same time, its cost is minimal.

Loft style lighting devices are not just a tribute to fashion, but also a practical economical solution of the main or additional backlight. Consider how the lamps from the pipes are made on their own, what is the main features of working with the material, how will the process of their assembly will look like, how to make a pendant chandelier from metal pipes, a wall lamp from metalplastic, a desktop lamp and couplings, and what difficulties It may arise.

Independently produce lamps based on metal, plastic and metal-plastic pipes today under the power of anyone who wants. To do this, you need to be patient, the desire to reach the planned result, a set of suitable materials and tools and strictly follow the instructions. Advantages of similar homemade sets:

  1. Low cost product cost.
  2. Ease of standard threaded connection.
  3. Ability to create any design.
  4. Wide access of materials (items can be bought in a constructionarket, merry, just find).

Of the peculiarities of the processing of the materials used in the creation of lamps, the following nuances should be taken into account:

  1. All elements connected to the thread must have one standard and similar characteristics (step, diameter, direction).
  2. Metal-plastic pipes must be sad at an effort, and their surface melting during heat treatment (polypropylene analogs are most often suitable for this role).
  3. If the product is not planned to be painted, it is better to take galvanized, stainless, copper or brass materials as the basis.
  4. The metal case of the lamps easily performs electricity, so when installing light bulbs on them, they must be grounded to 220V.
  5. The form of metalopastic luminaires is given by means of beggars, and pig-iron and metallic - with the help of all sorts of adapters, segments of pipes and fittings.

To make it easier and speed up the process of assembling such lighting devices, the manufacture is better to implement in accordance with the following algorithm:

  1. Make a drawing / sketch with an indication of all elements, their size, characteristics.
  2. Before assembling, paint and dry all the components and materials that require this, or perform the surface decor in accordance with the designer ideas.
  3. Run the lamp assembly strictly according to the plan.
  4. Mount the wiring, light bulbs.
  5. Secure the lighting device, check the service, connecting to the network.

Important! One of the main indicators of the operation of the lamp with a metal case is electrical safety. Therefore, those who have no experience in conducting electrical procedures, before starting the assembly, it is better to be able to consult with an experienced specialist from this sphere. For internal wiring, it is necessary to use a thick conductor with good electrical insulating and placing it so that it does not move into the edges of the pipes, the sharp edges of which must be removed using abrasive materials. In addition, the location of the docking lived, as far as possible, it is better not to be located inside such a design, as a last resort - securely isolate them.

Pendant chandelier

Consider one of the simplest options for assembling a pendant chandelier based on brass or copper pipes. For the manufacture of such a lamp will be needed:

  1. Five pieces of pear-shaped light bulbs.
  2. Ten pipe segments - two sets of 5 identical length - short and long.
  3. One segment of the maximum length as a suspension to the ceiling.
  4. Five brass hinges adjustable type.
  5. A set of 5 ceramic cartridges for light bulb.
  6. Double wire (selected so that it easily entered the tubes).
  7. Motor electrocable.
  8. Insulating tape.
  9. Electrical instrument.

Installation instructions

In the manufacture of such a lamp, you need to follow the next step by step instructions:

  • mount the wiring, unscrewing the lining on the cartridges and connecting the cores to them, as shown in the image below;

  • through the pipes to carry out internal wiring from the cartridge, connect long and short segments by means of hinges;
  • tighten the wiring and cut off, leaving about 5 cm for switching with the main cable;
  • screw the cartridge to the edge of the tube segment, which will be located at the bottom of the structure;

  • screw the long segments of pipes into fitting on 5 contacts, thereby collecting the basis of the lamp;
  • twist the white-colored residential pipes with a wire of the same shade of the main cable, black - by analogy;

  • carefully fill the resulting twist with the main cable into the pipe, on which the lamp will be attached to the ceiling surface;

  • the chandelier is suspended on a chain or mounting wire in its place, bulbs screwed up, the network connects and the performance of the assembled lamp is being checked.

Wall lamp made of flexible metal

For self-assembly of a wall lamp from metal-plastic pipes, the following components will be needed:

  1. A set of metal-plastic pipes with a length of segments from 20 to 50 cm.
  2. Wood base or fragment of thick-walled plywood or other similar material.
  3. Wiring.
  4. Cartridges and lamps to them, as well as fittings of suitable size.
  5. Saw for metal or pipe cutting on metalplastic.
  6. Screws, crosshead screwdriver or screwdriver.
  7. Paper, paint, decor materials.
  8. Silicone sealant.

Instructions for manufacture

The process of manufacturing a wall lamp from pipes is as follows:

  1. Fragment of plywood or woody array is adjusted under the design-intended design, paint or decorated.
  2. It dries a hole (or several - depending on the number of tubes and light bulbs to them), a diameter of a similar segment of a metal-plastic pipe.
  3. This segment is inserted into it and sits on glue or sealant.
  4. After drying and fixing, a two-housing wiring is passed into it.
  5. From the free end of the cutting fitting.
  6. If the fitting with carving to it can be selected the corresponding threaded cartridge. If not - the latter can be simply glued to the sealant, having connected it with the conductors.
  7. Next, the finished lamp is mounted on a self-tapping screw or a dowel to the wall surface.
  8. A light bulb is screwed, the wiring is connected to the network and is checked.
  9. As an element of decor on the fitting with a cartridge, you can pick up a suitable flooring, a plane or elements of scabs to improve its design.

The main advantage of the lamp on the metal-plastic pipe is the ability to change the direction of the luminous flux due to its light bending.

Cup Lamp

To make your own hands, the luminaire from the coupling will require the following components:

  1. Short and long nipple - just a couple of pieces.
  2. Six couplings (squares).
  3. Six shortened nipples for their compound.
  4. Three tees for water supply.
  5. Cord with fork and switch.
  6. The device "hot glue."
  7. Insulating tape.
  8. Drill and other mounted tools.

The scope of application of such a lamp from the pipes is quite wide - for the main or additional backlight of the working area of \u200b\u200bthe table, the workbench and any other place (due to the compactness of the lighting device).

Assembly process

Detailed instructions for making a desk lamp from couplings looks like this:

  • before starting work, all segments of pipes, couplings and connections are cleaned by a household cleaner, for example, white-spirited, stickers are removed, and then dried;
  • to bring the veins to the connection location in the lamp, you must temporarily disconnect the wire with the switch;

  • next, the cartridge suitable in size is inserted into the coupling. It can be consolidated by either with a thread, or putting on the glue, with the help of a gun, having connected with the wiring;
