💡 Electropribor of watering: the stages of assembly with photos

Second Life old things - a popular topic, especially when these things do not just restoredAnd transformed into something completely new and original. For example, as in the experiment from Norilsk Anastasia yolk. She sent to the editor HouseChief detailed instructions on how to make the original lamp from an old watering can shower!

All a good day and hello! My story begins with leaking in the bathroom. And it began not with joy, with flooding of neighbors and major expenses for repair them in the bathroom. But it's not about that. The reason was in trouble shower designWhich had to be completely replaced. And including - hose watering. The hose had to throw it away, and I was watering some reason unscrewed and left. Prihranit thought it as a backup, but it is not suited to the new soul. What came out of it then? turned lamp in the kitchen. And it was my first experience of working with wires and switches.

The basis of the lamp from a watering can

Lake was a whole, and with the mind properly. She had a glossy finish, all such weighty and reliable that I was just a pity to throw it.

The design of watering very simple: a plastic cover and metal base

This instrument had an extra part: rubber insert spray.

Just enough to pick up inside a sharp object to remove it

But the plastic part I needed. It was easy to clean lime deposits from a simple sponge

For the stability of the lamp had a wide base. I came across a plastic tray from the eye flowerpot. His height - about 3 cm, that is how much you need to hide inside mechanism of the switch.

At the bottom of a base is necessary to make two holes in the locations marked with a marker

Hole located closer to the edge, I was doing a drill

And in the center you need to make a hole with a diameter a little more. Such that the leg was held watering can

That's my base looked after preparation — That's my base looked after podgotovkiVot well looked after my base training

The threads of the watering can, to the extent where it connects with the hose, I wore a metal washer

Insert leg growths in the large hole and cemented inside locknut

Thus, the base and the body of the future lamps were assembled. Upcoming is the hardest part for me - electric.

Schematic of the lamp

To assemble the lamp I bought a ready-made set of wire, switch and forks. It is necessary to admit that in my knowledge of electrical modest, so that all its actions are checked against the information on the Internet.

First of all, I slipped the cord through the hole in the ground

Volumetric switch was not in my plans, so I had to unwind and remove the case

Inside, as I expected, it was the most common button, which is ideally passed into a smaller hole in the ground

Now it was necessary to remove excess wire and connect the light source. Remove any excess cord easily.

To connect the light source took me here this connector. The two pins I connected the wire ends

Then it was over light bulb. Normal would not fit in a watering can. And here at LED light sources flat design, just what I need!

I took one such lamp, and took off her body. Inside, as I expected, everything was arranged like this

It was only necessary to connect the lamp to the connector pins with cord

final assembly

Now everything needed to put in place and firmly fixed.

For fixing the light source I used a gun with hot glue

Caused part of a broad part of the watering can, and pressed platform with LEDs

It would be possible to leave the switch button as it is, but I had a great idea about that.

Naryla button soft rubber cap, the cap was applied to all the same hot glue

The original lamp from a watering can: I did the first time the appliance — Fixed the top handle of the faucet. It is now the turn regulates the lamp operation

The last step - returning watering cap on its rightful place

As a result, I was able to compact the original table lamp. Light from it a bit, but it is very convenient in the kitchen as a night light. I have a peccadillo at night to look at the kitchen. Not to include a great light, I leave this the lamp. Very convenient, it is not bright and economically, since LEDs consume very little power.

Thank you for the detailed story of Anastasia and original idea! Small and economical lamp from a watering can shower - an interesting solution. Among other things, the use of plumbing parts for the manufacture of tubes - a rather popular form of manual work. Here is an example of a training video on this topic:
