Lamp from PVC pipes. PVC pipe lamp do it yourself

Affairs are very beautiful lamps from the pipe


Volumetric luminaires made by their own hands are affected by our imagination of the magic game of light and shadow. But no less awesome is that these strikingly beautiful lamps are made from an unexpected, simple and very affordable all at the price of the material.

The use of PVC pipes, as the base for the lamp, gives broad and unusual possibilities for making. You can cut through the pipe through, can take a half, just removing the thickness of the pipe, you can make bulk compositions, carefully bending parts of the pipe.

As the author of these lamps, Ademar Rocha tells, for the manufacture of the lamp, you need a hand drill with a set of different nozzles, and a construction hairdryer, which allows you to make the desired curved shape with the cut parts of the pipe.

Drills nozzles allow you to process the edges of the bulk parts of the lamp, make the texture and surface cuts on the pipe that will create the necessary halftone in the planned light composition. All this will give the lamp a neat finished look.

Of course, our lamp is needed a rather heavy stand, which will give the stability of the vertical design.
For fire safety, it is better to use an energy-saving light bulb that heats up the minimum.

As a lamp in such a lamp, you can also use LEDs. These are not only safer, but also gives more opportunities for color backlight.
Because LEDs allow you to change the color of illumination, then your lamp can please you with green, then red and golden color. In addition, the LEDs are practically not heated.

Such a lamp, carefully made by their own hands from the ordinary pipe, will be an unexpected gift for Valentine's Day. And such a musical lamp will rate the music fan. A similar lamp can be made of overlays of two pipes of different diameters.

The surface of the lamp can be painted, and then in the off state it will be better fit into the interior of your room.
For the lamp, you can use pipes of different diameters. For example, this ceiling for a chandelier is made by a point slot from a wide PVC pipe.

Not only volumetric luminaires are beautiful, drawing the desired drawing on the pipe, and making a point on its contour on the pipe, you will get an easy-to-execution, but a wonderful beautiful lamp. Use not only through, but also translucent holes, so your lamp will be more interesting.

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

For materialization of this creative idea In the 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 construction phenomenon.


Then quickly until the plastic is cooled, we insert the wooden pattern inside the pipe and form from round cross section Rectangular along the entire length, pushing the wooden box on the pipe until it appears on the other side of the tube 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.
Via manual milling Cut the circle on 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 facial side rectangular billets where one large and 23 small holes have already been performed, placed two symmetrically located slots with an indent from the ends of 1.5 cm and the width of 1.5 cm, which will be held on the side sides of the workpiece, slightly reaching the opposite Parties.


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.

Already repeatedly stated the fact that very unusual and spectacular products for interior design are obtained from materials, it would seem not intended for this. Many decorative things are obtained from disposable dishes, plastic containers, all sorts of cases, covers and traffic jams. And from plastic bottles Construct almost anything, from boats and rafts, to sofas and chairs, from baskets, organizers and VAZ, to earrings, bracelets and rings. PVC pipes are also successful, the purpose of which is to cope with the sewage needs.

And so, it would seem, of such prosaic, albeit practical ordinary, plastic pipes go to a completely different level of being: skillful hands and fantasy turn them into unusual, almost the fabulous lamps-night lights.

It is difficult to say who first thought to this idea, but today the manufacture of PVC lamps are engaged in craftsmen from Brazil, Argentina, Australia, China, and fans of this curious designer reception also appeared in our country. The manufacturing process is pretty simple, a teenager can cope with elementary models that can handle the power tools. The lamp is performed by applying through holes through which the light will penetrate.

To perform from PVC pipe, the lamp will need a drill with various nozzles: drills of different thickness and grinding nozzles with abrasive. The pipe itself is selected rather wide diameter, from 20 to 50 cm, you need to focus on how the place in the interior will take the lamp and which drawing to apply will be selected.

The simplest models of lamps can be made using the same type of perforation drill, complex, volumetric models include not only the drawing from the holes of different diameters, but also work with a thickness of the pipe, removal of plastic layers, as well as cutting and giving the volume to some parts of the composition.

Before starting work, we determine what size our lamp should be. The dimensions determine the diameter of the pipe and its height. Then select the template of the desired picture. It may be a simple ornament, a peevery type composition or a floral motif, or a plot or thematic picture.

Contours drawing are transferred to the surface of PVC pipe in a convenient wayIncluding attention is paid to the upper and lower edge. Getting Started Consider the necessary diameter of the holes when you use various drills. Even simply applying the holes of different values \u200b\u200balong the contour of the drawing, you can already get a finished lamp.

A more elegant drawing is obtained if you apply the light halftone. This effect is achieved by removing the layers of polychlorophilus from the surface of the pipe. To do this, use abrasive nozzles on the drill. The more layers are removed, the more the light is visible.

If a 3D effect is required, the contours of those parts that should be beyond the pipe framework, first thinning with the same abrasive-grinding nozzles, then cut off with a construction knife. To give a form, they are heated by a hairdryer, better construction, it gives a more intense and uniform heating, and bent into the direction. When cooling, this form remains.

PVC pipe lamp will look in the interior and in white, so to speak, pristine color. But if there is a desire to have color design, it is easier to do it easier, painted PVC paint from an aerosol can.

After the decorative part is completed, the time comes to take care of the practical side of the issue. For this lamp, you need a reliable heavy base, it will allow to become a stable lamp.

The source of light for the chlorvinyl lamp is chosen energy-saving lamps, they will not overheat the decorated shell. An even more interesting is the use of shifts, for example, light garlands. Then the color effects of the glow, making the lamp even more attractive.

Various interior items made from the most unexpected things and even scrap metal are increasingly becoming decorated residential premises.

Luminaires made of water pipes such as plastic and metal, cast iron makes many craftsmen, turning a simple plumbing product in designer things, unusual in appearance.

Water pipe lamp

Independent assembly of pipe lamps

Alone to assemble the lamp from the remnants of the water pipes is very easy. It does not depend on the material of the manufacture. Thinking appearance And the purpose of a lighting device, the stylistics of the room in which it will be taken into account. The properties of plastic are taken into account to be heat treatment, metal plastic pipes Street, and cast-iron - fold through adapters and connectors to the most bizarre forms.

The main thing is that attracts the creators - cavity in which you can easily skip the electrical wire. The variety of cartridges will allow you to pick up most suitable size And just glue the material in the right place.

Water pipe lamp excellent suitable Loft or country style. A pattern, carved in a large diameter PVC pipe, highlighted from the inside, will decorate even the most exquisite interior.

Outdoor lamp from PVC pipes

Production of lamps from plastic pipes with their own hands - a very simple process. The material is easy to cut. It can be bent after heating. At the same time, it is not expensive, does not pass electricity and can serve as an additional insulator. But it should be remembered that plastic is subject to melting and deformation, so the lamps should choose those that do not heat.

If you use the pipes with a small diameter, connectors and tees, you can collect the design of any configuration, simply inventing the appropriate design and folding the components of the designer. For example, a very effectively looks at an outdoor high product, folded through tees, with curved upper lines. Such a lamp can be 4 legs or a wooden round basis. number installed lamps Depends solely on the desire of the creator.

Decorate the pure living room will be able to an outdoor lamp from a large diameter pipe, in which patterns are cut. Warming up its individual parts by a construction hairdryer, you can exhaust the material and make the drawing volume. Cutting some sections, you can make them more translucent. If desired, paint the surface in any color. It will only be to fix inside the light source, put everything on PVC or wooden base and connect electricity.

The compound of individual elements is strengthened with a glue layer, passing the maximum length cable in advance.

For dacha

Production of decorative products from old cast-iron pipes Very claimed for use in the country. It can be stylish sconce with large beams or loft style chandelier, assembled in the form of bizarre bending lines with several lamps at the ends.

Appropriate homemade lamps And as street lighting, installed on wooden columns and facade of the structure. The main thing is to remember that any metal conducts electricity, so you should take care of the reliable insulation of the cable.

For the playground

Homemade variants of pipe lamps are perfect for playgrounds. They can be collected in the form of a fence, inserting the lamps inside the sections with a large diameter. Such a design will reliably protect the light source from mechanical damage, and the hidden cables completely eliminate the possibility of injuries from electricity.

Securing the pipe around the perimeter of individual entertainment sites, drilled in it holes over the entire area and inserting inside the LED tape, you can turn the most banal pad into the fabulous world.

Wall lamp made of flexible metal

Metal-plastic pipes has 1 essential advantage over PVC products - they are bent. The light source with such a housing can be rotated in any direction, without surviving that the movement will lead to a breakdown.

For assembly, it will take a blank from a tree or thick plywood. It is made of the base that is attached to the wall. In addition, the pipe should be prepared desired size, suitable cartridge, cable, isolent.

Installation instructions

First you need to draw the design of the future product on which it will be shown how to make the main components. To work, you will need drill, jigsaw, stationery knife and several screws.

From a piece of wood or thick plywood cut out the workpiece of any shape. In the place of the alleged attachment of the pipe drill the hole of the corresponding diameter.

For full functioning, a pipe is 5-50 cm (more than). It is inserted into the opening of the base. Then the electric cable traveled through the pipe. From an inverse movable side, it is necessary to fix the cartridge. If necessary, you can use additional plumbing fittings.

When a wall lamp from flexible metal plastic will be fully assembled, it is screwed to the wall with dowels or screws, the LED element is installed and put into operation.

LED night light from plastic pipe

If pig-iron products are more suitable for making lamps in the Loft style, the gentle white plastic is better to use to create nights, which will fit into any interior. They are decorated with openwork patterns of any stylistic orientation, ranging from exquisite floristics and ending with fabulous heroes.

Instructions for manufacture

Making plastic lampshade is very simple. To do this, you will need a wooden or metal base with an elevated cartridge, a PVC pipe segment with a diameter of at least 15 cm and a length of 20-30 cm, a drill with a set of drills, a stationery knife.

To begin the edge of the future, the lampshar grind and apply a drawing. Then the holes of different sizes drill on the outlined lines. The oblong lines are cut out with a knife. If you want to give the image a great realistic, you can cut some surface areas by making it thinner to increase the bandwidth. Change the shape and bends of some areas can be heated by the construction hairdryer and extinguishing.

After the pattern is worked out, the lamp shade is attached to the base and screw the light bulb. Now the whole design is collected and can be connected to electricity. If desired, the ceiling can be painted.

Luster manufacturing technology

Many may seem that when using pipes and components, plumbing chandelier will look robust and even straight, but it is not. With the right approach and careful performance, the work of art is created even from such simple materials.

Assembly process

For the manufacture you will need pieces metal pipes, splitters, ceiling outlet, cartridges.

To begin with, we think about the design of the future product and the number of lamps that will be installed. In the center of the whole design there will be a splitter to which pipes connect and fuse them into the desired shape. Through the resulting workpiece skip the wires. Since the cord will pass through several endpoints, it is recommended to run parallel lines in each individual branch, connecting them only under the ceiling outlet, excluding the gaps inside the chandelier.

Cartridges are fixed to each pipe at the ends, connecting them to the cable in advance. Through a small piece, connect the socket to the splitter. Then the electricity is connected.

The finished product is painted and equipped with flames. The main thing is that the result pleased the inhabitants of the house.
