How to make a lighting fixture from LED stripdo it yourself? What is it? It is worth talking about this in more detail. LED lighting is gaining popularity every day. It covers new areas of its application.
LED lamp diagram.Very often, LEDs are used not only for the main lighting of the room (lamps), but also for some types of lighting (for example, in the kitchen, in the dressing room, etc.). Such beauty, of course, cannot be cheap, so if you want to use LED lighting in your home, you will have to fork out a little.
Variants of lamps from the LED ribbon with their own hands
So, for the first version of the lamp you will need:

- LED self-adhesive tape (8 mm wide);
- aluminum corner (size 10x10 mm, length 1.5 m) or plastic plastic box (optional);
- Screws;
- small switch.
Become practical in useLED strips. They look like a flexible "board" on which the LEDs and resistors are attached. It is very convenient to cut the LEDs you need from the LED strip. There are many manufacturing methods. They depend on the final appearance of the lamp you want to get: a vertical lamp, horizontal or on legs. Let's consider several of these.

After doing this, you will need to cut a groove to secure the microswitch. After following all the instructions, attach the corner to the selected place with screws. In order for the LED strip to stick well to the corner, you need to wipe it with acetone to degrease. Do not forget to install the switch in the groove and solder the wires. Connect them to the adapter or 12V power line. The lighting device is ready. It is intended for a horizontal surface. It can be used, for example, in the kitchen (under the cabinet). If such a lamp is used at a height of 70-80 cm above the surface, it will illuminate 60 cm of its width well, the main thing is that it will not blind the eyes. Now let's consider the second version of the lamp. It will be more difficult to work with, but more original. Let's start making it. To do this, you must purchase the following materials:
- LED strip RGB (3 m long);
- 3 legs for furniture;
- nickel-plated pipe (diameter 25 mm, length 1.5 m);
- 2 fixings for the pipe;
- 9 m racks (trim);
- plywood (10 mm);
- ballon with black paint;
- RGB controller (console);
- piece of particle board;
- electric jig saw;
- thin screws.
First you will need to cut it with an electricjigsaw 6 rings of different diameters from plywood (2 large, 2 medium, 2 small). And also one circle of chipboard (it will be the base of our lamp) and a circle of plywood, in which you cut out six holes (this is the top of your lamp - its cap). Paint all the cut rings and slats black, let dry. It is better to paint outside, as the paint has a smell. Please note that before painting the slats, you need to drill holes in them at the same distances for fastening with screws. You should fix the fasteners for the nickel-plated pipe on the chipboard circle and the plywood circle. It will connect the entire structure of the lamp, made with your own hands. In the middle of the rings, glue the LED strip, which you initially cut into pieces equal to the inner diameter of the rings. You need to solder the wires to each of the rings. After that, start connecting the small rings with the slats using screws. They will be in the middle of your lamp. Then, on both sides of the small rings, the middle rings will be attached, and finally the bottom and top of the lamp. Hide the wires in the cable along the entire height. Don't forget to paint the cable black so that it doesn't differ from the slats and rings. Return to contents</a>The final stage of work

We got a glowing cap, which we attach with an LED strip down to the lighting fixture. Then we make the bottom of the lamp. To do this, attach furniture legs to the chipboard circle from below (the lamp will be held on them), and attach the remaining large plywood ring to the top. Next, you need to insert a nickel-plated pipe into the fasteners to connect the entire structure. We also attach an RGB controller to the bottom, with which the made one will be powered. We got its bottom, which we attach to the entire structure. Your lamp will receive power from a computer power supply, if this does not suit you, you can come up with something of your own, for example, power using an electronic transformer, and so on. For better reception of infrared rays from the remote control, you need to put a disk on the floor under the lamp with the shiny side up. Well, the DIY LED strip lamp is ready. Overall, we have received an inexpensive, beautiful, original, economical and ecological lamp for your room. But these options for making lamps are not the limit, they are only the basic ones. You can come up with the rest yourself. Do not stop in front of problems! Decorate your home with your own hands!
