How to make the incandescent lamp. How to make a light bulb eternal. Other original ideas

The 220 volts LED lamp saves 1.5-2 times more electricity than the daylight lamp, and 10 times more than the incandescent lamp. In addition, when assembling from the distorted lamp, the cost of manufacturing such a lamp will be significantly lower. The LED lamp is going to be quite simple, although you can only work with a high voltage if you have relevant qualifications.

Advantages of homemade lamp

In the store you can find many types of lamps. Each type has its drawback and advantage. Incandescent lamps gradually pass their positions due to high energy consumption, low light output, despite the high color rendering index. Compared to them, luminescent light sources are a real miracle. Energy-saving lamps are their more modern modernization, which allowed to apply the advantages of fluorescent light in the most common lamps, with E27 grounds, devoid of unpleasant flickering of the old representatives of this family.

But both daylight lamps have shortcomings. They quickly fail due to frequent turning on-shutdown, to the same pair of poisonous pairs contained in the tubes, and the design itself requires special disposal. Compared to them lamp on LEDs (LED) - the second revolution in the field of lighting. They are even more economical, do not require special disposal and operate 5-10 times longer.

LED lamps have one, but a significant drawback is the most expensive. To reduce this minus to a minimum or wrap it in a plus, you will need to build it from the LED tape with your own hands. In this case, the cost of the light source becomes lower than in luminescent analogues.

Homemade LED lamp has a number of benefits:

the service life of the device with proper assembly is a record 100,000 hours;
in terms of Watt / Lumen, they also exceed all the analogues;
the cost of the homemade lamp is not higher than that of luminescent.

Of course, there is one drawback - the lack of guarantees on the product, which should be compensated by the exact compliance with the instructions and the skill of the electrician.

Materials for assembly

The methods of creating a lamp with their own hands are a great set. The most common methods using the old base from the turbulent fluorescent lamp are most common. Such a resource is found in everyone in the house, so there will be no problems with the search. In addition, you will need:

Castle from the distilled product.
Immediately ice. They are sold in the form of LED tapes or separate LEDs NK6. Each element has a current strength of about 100-120 mA and a voltage of about 3-3.3 volts.
The diode bridge or rectifier diodes 1N4007 will be required.
We need a fuse that can be found in the plug-in lamp.
Capacitor. Its container, voltage and other parameters are selected depending on the electrical circuit for the assembly and the number of LEDs in it.
In most cases, the framework will be required to be attached by LEDs. The frame can be made of plastic or similar material. The main requirement - should not be metallic, conductive and must be heat-resistant.
To reliably attach LEDs to the frame, superchalter or liquid nails will be required (the last preferred).

One or two elements from the above list may not be useful in some circuits, in other cases can, on the contrary, new chain links (drivers, electrolytes) are added. Therefore, the list of necessary materials must be compiled in each particular case individually.

We collect a lamp of the LED tape

We will analyze step by step creation of a light source by 220 V LED tape. To decide to use the innovation in the kitchen, it is enough to remember that the LED lamps collected with their own hands are significantly profitable fluorescent analogues. They live 10 times longer, and consume 2-3 times less energy at the same level of lighting.

For the design, you will need two overloaded fluorescent lamps of a length of half the meter and a power of 13 watts. There is no reason to buy new meanings, it is better to find old and non-working, but not broken and without cracks.
Next, we go to the store and buy LED tape. The choice is big, so for the acquisition, come responsibly. It is advisable to buy ribbons with clean white or natural light, it does not change the shades of surrounding items. In such ribbons, LEDs are collected in groups of 3 pieces. The voltage of one group is 12 volts, and the power of 14 watts per meter tape.
Then you need to disassemble fluorescent lamps into composite parts. Caution! Do not damage the wires, and also do not break the tube, otherwise, poisonous pairs will break out and have to clean up, as after a broken mercury thermometer. Extracted insides do not throw away, they will be useful in the future.
Below is a diagram of the LED tape that we bought. In it, the ice is connected parallel to 3 pieces in the group. Please note that such a scheme does not fit us.
Therefore, it is necessary to cut the ribbon to the portions of 3 diode in each and get expensive and useless converters. Cut the ribbon to be comfortable with nipples or large and strong scissors. After soldering the wires, the diagram below should turn out.
As a result, 66 LEDs or 22 groups of 3 ice in each, connected in parallel along the entire length. Calculations are simple. Since we need to convert an alternating current to a permanent, the standard voltage of 220 volts in the electrical network should be increased to 250. The need to "throw" the voltage is associated with the rectification process.
To clarify the number of LED sections, you need to divide 250 volts by 12 volts (voltage for one group of 3 pieces). As a result, we get 20.8 (3), rounded into the biggest, we get 21 groups. It is advisable to add another group here, since the total number of LEDs will have to be divided into 2 lamps, and for this you need an even number. In addition, adding another section, we will make a common scheme safer.
We will need a constant current rectifier, which is why it is impossible to throw out the extracted insides of the fluorescent lamp. To do this, we get the converter, with the help of buds, we remove the condenser from the total chain. It's easy enough to do so, because it is located separately from the diodes, it is enough to break the board.
The diagram shows that it should, in the end, turn out in more detail.
Next, using soldering and superclause you need to collect the entire design. Do not even try to fit all 22 sections into one lamp. It was said above that it is necessary to specifically find 2 half-meter lamps, because it is simply impossible to place all the LEDs. It is also not necessary to count on a self-adhesive layer on the back of the tape. It will not last long, so the LEDs must be fastened with superclone or liquid nails.

Let's summarize and find out the advantages of the assembled product:

The amount of light from the resulting LED lamps is 1.5 times more than in luminescent analogs.
Power consumption is much less than that of daylight lamps.
Server the collected light source will be 5-10 times longer.
Finally, the latter advantage is the direction of light. It does not dissipate and directed strictly down, thanks to which it is used by the desktop or in the kitchen.

Of course, the emitted light is not distinguished by high brightness, but the main advantage is the low power consumption of the lamp. Even if you turn on and never turn it off, then it will eat only 4 kW of energy for the year. At the same time, the cost of electricity consumed per year is comparable with the cost of a ticket in a city bus. Therefore, such light sources are particularly efficiently used where constant illumination is required (corridor, street, ottoman).

We collect a simple light bulb from LEDs

We will analyze another way to create a LED lamp. The chandelier or table lamp needs a standard E14 or E27 base. Accordingly, the diagram and diodes used will differ. Compact fluorescent lamps are now widely used. We need one blown cartridge, also change the general list of materials for the assembly.

You will need:

blown base E27;
driver RLD2-1;
nK6 LEDs;
a piece of cardboard, but better - plastic;
super glue;
electric wiring;
and also scissors, soldering iron, pliers and other tools.

Let's start creating a homemade lamp:

The luminous stream of the assembled lamp is 100-120 lumens. Thanks to the clean white light, the light bulb seems substantially lighter. This is enough to illuminate a small room (corridor, directional). The main advantage of the LED light source is low power consumption and power - only 3 watts. Which is 10 times less incandescent lamps and 2-3 times - luminescent. It works from the usual cartridge with 220 volts.

Conclusion

So, having under-hands non-working linear or compact fluorescent lamps and several elements given above in this article, you can create a LED lamp with their own hands with a number of advantages. One of the main is low cost compared to lamps that can be purchased in the store. When assembling and installing, security measures are required, as you have to work with high voltage, so you should adhere to the installation sequence according to the scheme. As a result, get a lamp that will work for a long time and delight your eyes.

Video

Probably, each of us living in apartment buildings came across the need to often change the bulbs in the entrance due to their permanent burnout. Especially this * effect * notes in the entrances of raw and / or with drafts. To significantly increase the service life of an ordinary light bulb (sooner or later it all the same in the "well-wishers") can be with the help of four elements:

As you can see pictures this:
1. Common 1.Tuboot (it is useful when installing, and not to improve the microclimate with neighbors);
2.Solenta (any, for isolation of a bare wire, and not what you thought about a throat neighbor);
3. Diode (or part of the diode bridge, that however, the same thing) so that the reverse voltage volt is 300 (for example, D226, a penny value. Iron. You can exhaone from the old TV or receiver).
4. Locking-booths, to bite something not needed (we will not show your finger).

Then, in fact, we move to the entrance, check the absence of a phase on the wire (which goes to the lightbul), snack (one! And not both wires). Clean the insulation and according to the simplest scheme insert the same diode into the gap:

It turns out that our drive lamp will now eat electricity through this very diode. Now I will explain (not even all men know it, and forbidden to women to do it) in what * focus * eternal (now) light bulbs. It does not receive electricity, and instead of glowing * on the whole coil * Glows dick and flicker. Therefore, such a way is contraindicated for home use! But in the stairwell, you are not for hours (it is not treated for young people) and there is much more important that it would be quite highlighted and not to the detriment of the budget of the families of the residents of this house.

Since I live on the 2nd floor, then, accordingly, I go on both floors, which forced to embed in both diode light bulbs.

From the moment of manufacture, six months passed. Saving at least 3 light bulbs with both floors during this time (the entrance to the intercom and neighbors do not fall to the level * unscrew *). The most interesting thing is that no one notices that these lamps stopped * burn *. Good get used to good ...

In detail in this article, consider how to make the lamp eternal and what is needed for this. In general, how can I make a light bulb eternal? Everything is very simple, it will take a little to pay your time and literally after a minute the project in the form of a lamp will be ready.

Well, let's start closer to the point what will be needed for the manufacture of the spring light bulb at home:

Any second adhesive, for example, "moment";
Body from the lamp itself;
Light-emitting diode;
And of course a resistor.

It is very important to know that the resistance of the resistor often happens different to the LEDs, in most cases it is exactly 3.5 and 1.5 volts or there is an integrated resistor with a capacity of 12. We also need resistance according to such data: 1.5 V - 1.5-1.8 com, 3.5 V - 1.1 - 1.2 com.

Well, let's start gradually to disassemble what and how to do everything quickly, we will spend time with benefit, so to speak. The first to be soldered to one leg of the resistor, and it is necessary to solder it as close as possible to the LED so that the design was as short as possible in the same way there is a possibility that the LED does not fit in the lamp because it will not match the standards, then you need to solder to the second leg 3 -4 Ovens of a thin copper wire of a long order of 2 centimeters and insulating the resistor with the thermal tube.

Further we put the resulting design into the lamp housing and do not forget the resistor to the navel of the so-called part of the design, and hanging out the wire to another leg of the LED, after all this it remains to glue this design, and after drying and solder.

The most difficult thing here is to glue everything right, so you need to take this point with effort, making all these items. We get that material that will shine longer than any other economic lamp.

This information is possible to most people are not useful, but to know the basics how a simple lamp works and how even a child should be known to know it. At the final stage, a lamp with LED 2 in 1 roughly speaking, due to such a design for so long and lives light inside it and does not burn out, and in efficiency is not inferior to new options that are in the market. As the result was quite good, this technique can be used with various lamps by searchlight and incandescent lamps.

This concept is also useful for lighting houses on a plot or garden. Testing only 2 - 3 minutes we get a really necessary thing that is effective in your kind and does not require costs like the rest of the lamps in such a kind, it can not not please the consumer why overpay when you can do it yourself. It is nice on the soul, and in fact it is useful.

In this way, you can equip the whole house and save electricity, this system is in demand because there are no analogues for such funds, in fact, you will remain in the benefit for any conditions. Good inventions that bring joy and saving life. This article unsubscribed everything is available both on stages that it is not clear whether it is possible to verify data from the video on various venues.

This article gives a guide for you and your ideas in the future, all the above will help you achieve the desired result. Your work will surprise with its end result, the fact that it seemed difficult to become easy, if you do everything according to the instructions, there will be no questions.

For almost a year now, as I began to replace all the lamps in the house on LED. The results were sometimes more sometimes less, but one case led me to an interesting solution.

The reason why I took the LED lamp

Do you often or someone from your family by chance overthrow the desktop lamp? If you talk about me, then quite many times ... Therefore, when my child once dropped my desktop lamp with innocent "Oh!", I said: "Pretty!"
A warning! In luminescent lamps, mercury is used, which is very toxic.
If you accidentally or deliberately smashed such a lamp, it is recommended to spark a good room to save it from toxic evaporation.
I decided to replace the luminescent lamp of my desktop lamp, for something more shocking ...
My lamp must withstand an appeal with a 10-year-old child's appeal, and at the same time emit enough light for comfortable work at the desk, to work stably and cost it. A couple of years ago, this problem did not have a simple solution, but now the answer is obvious - this is a LED lamp.

Materials

I decided to use with a maximum light flux of 278 lm, which remained from my past project. The LED will be placed on the cooling radiator with a size of 5 x 5 cm, which was removed from the old PC.
For simplicity, I decided to use a pulsed charger for a phone, which will provide voltage and current sufficient for the operation of the LED lamp. For this purpose, I used the non-working Siemens A52 charger, with the claimed output of the voltage 5 V and the current of 420 mA.
The cartridge of an old fluorescent lamp will serve to protect the electronics.
Measurements
According to the factory characteristics of CREE MX6 Q5, it can be powered by a source with a maximum current of 1 A and a voltage of 4.1 V. I believed that I need a resistor with a resistance of 1 ohm to reduce the voltage to 1 V (from 5 V, which issued the power supply ) up to 4.1 V, consumed by the LED, unless the power supply is maintained by the current strength 1 A.
To check the maximum permissible strength of the current, which is powering the power supply, I connected various resistors to its terminals, in each case, measuring voltage and calculating current strength.
I was surprised to find that the power supply is arranged in such a way as to limit the current strength at the level of 0.6 A, with which it copes normally. Conducting similarly research with other telephone chargers, I learned that all of them have a limitation for current strength from 20% to 50% higher than the manufacturer declared. It makes sense, since each manufacturer designs the power supply in such a way that it is not very grain, even if the feed device is broken, including short circuit. And the easiest way to ensure this is to limit the current strength.
So I had a direct current generator with a limitation of current strength up to 0.6 A, very effective (mobile phone power supply during use is not warm), with power directly from AC source 220 V, made at factory and very small sizes . And it's just fine.

Lamp manufacture

For a start, I disassemble the power supply to extract the inside and insert them into a new lamp. Since most of the power supplies are glued with the assembly, for its opening, I took advantage of the knobs.
To make the fee fit in the base of the lamp, it was necessary to make some fit.
For fastening the board inside the cartridge, I used a silicone sealant, which remains great resistance at high temperatures. Before close the base, I attached the heat sink to its lid (with a screw), on which the LED was recorded.

Result: Desktop lamp

Here is a lamp assembly. Energy consumption does not exceed 2.5 W, and the lighting is 190 lm, ideal for an economical and reliable desktop lamp. And all this per hour of work, with the exception of the solidification of silicone sealant and drying the thermoclaus, which was used to fix the LED on the cooling radiator.
I was so inspired by the success and simplicity of the project, that a few hours later, I already had another lamp.

Result: parishion

Being impressed by the results obtained, in the same way I continued to replace several fluorescent lamps in my apartment. I will present them, stopping only on some details.
For the lamp in the hallway, I applied two Cree MX6 Q5 elements with the energy consumption of 3 W and a maximum light flux of 278 lm. Each is powered by an old Charger for Samsung Mobile Phone. Despite the fact that the manufacturer declared the current of the current of 0.7 A, I found it by measurements that the restriction was established by 0.75 A.
All uses textile fastener (velcro), glue and plastic mounts for the motherboard.
The overall energy consumption is 6 W with a light flow of 460 lm.

Result: Bathroom

For the bathroom, I made a lamp from CREE XM-L T6, which was fed from two charger for a mobile phone LG. According to the factory characteristics, it can produce a current of 0.9 A, but in practice I found that it is limited to 1 A. Two blocks are connected in parallel for the total current of 2 A.
Such a lamp will consume 6 W energy and will provide the coverage of 700 lm.

Result: Kitchen

If, in the case of the hallway and bathroom, the provision of minimum lighting is not too significant, then with the kitchen another story. I did not want my wife or anyone another finger to my finger during cooking and accused me of me, or worse, my beloved LED lamps ...
To ensure good lighting of the kitchen, I decided to use not one, but two Cree XM-L T6 elements, with the power consumption of each 9 W and a light stream of 910 lm. As a heat sink element, I used the cooling radiator from the Pentium III microprocessor, which, with the help of a thermoclause, I attached two LEDs.
Although CREE XM-L T6 can operate at a maximum current of 3 A, the manufacturer for stable operation recommends using 2 A, in which the LED will emit about 700 lm. Testing multiple power supplies showed that the current strength is either not limited or the limitation exceeds the necessary 2 A. I managed to find a power source, which, based on the technical characteristics, issues 12 V at a current of 1.5 A. after inspections using The resistors, it turned out that the current is limited to 1.8 A, which is very close to the desired 2 A. Excellent!
To ensure the insulation of the radiator and the two LEDs, I used two neodymium magnets from the non-working DVD drive and plastic mounts for the motherboard. All fixed using glue and velcro.
Although I expected that such a lamp will produce a light stream of 1300 lm, like a luminescent lamp with power consumption of 23 W, which she replaced, I was pleasantly surprised, finding that the light produced by the new lamp is significantly brighter, and energy consumption is 12 W - almost twice smaller.

Conclusion

The coolest part of this project is that it can be done using items that, with the exception of LEDs, almost everyone has at hand.
Thus, you can get a LED lamp at a price twice, and even four times lower than the cost of the LED lamp in the store.
I hope that now old charge devices for mobile phones will be useful again, and they will not fall into the trash can.
Thanks for attention!

Garland from incandescent bulbs, which is also called retrocyrend, is used in the design of any festive event in the restaurant and in the private home. It is placed under sheds, in arbors and tents, allocate any zone (for example, for a photo shoot) decorate fences. An elegant and unusual retrocyrend, which creates an unusual atmosphere, can be made with their own hands.

What do you need for the manufacture of garlands?

To make a garland from light bulbs with your own hands, we need such materials and tools:

1 × 0.75 PV wire (stranded single cross section 0.75 mm²), it is important that the wire be soft, but could hold the form;
light bulbs at 25 ws with COCOL E14 or E27 (they shine brightly and economical);
cartridges carbetic, plastic or porcelain, corresponding to lamps;
fork;
swivel switch (dimmer) to change the brightness of the glow;
nippers;
acute knife;
marker;
insulating tape;
drill or screwdriver;
screwdrivers - flat and cross;
portnovo meter (it is convenient to measure the curved wire);
nail;
multimeter (tester).

The length of the garlands is determined depending on the place where it is supposed to be used. The wire can be black, white, color is rare. He must coincide with the color with the cartridges. For garlands, 5 m long will need 7 lamps, 7 rounds to them, 14-15 M wires, of which 10 m are basic, and the rest is needed to connect to the outlet. If E12 lamps are used, the adapter will be required.

A special charm has garlands with large lamps, glowing not at full capacity, with bright spirals released in the dark. This effect is ensured by a dimmer. It is chosen like this: they summarize the power of the connected lamps and add 30-50% to it. For example, if the overall indicator is 100 watts, the switch must be designed for 150 W. Otherwise, he will quickly fail.

Step-by-step instruction

To assemble the garland from the light bulbs with your own hands, it is not necessary to be a professional electrician. The instruction is designed for parallel connection of lamps.

Preparation of twisted wire

The basis of the garlands in retro-twisted wire, similar to that actively used for the outer wiring until the middle of the last century. Bind the cables like this:

Fold in half, cut, lay, align the ends and fix them with a screed.
1 The end is attached to the bent nail inserted into the drill, the second is tied at a distance to any object - hook, a table with a table.
Include drill. Of the simple wire, a length of 15 m is obtained 7.3-7.4 m retro.
Without removing with hooks, the cable is slightly kneaded along the entire length and give it a little lie in this position so that all the veins are fixed in a new form.

Wire processing

At this stage, the points where the lamps will hang, and prepare them to connect:

The area is measured at least 1.5 m for connecting to the socket on one side of the cable. Select the option of designing the other side, it can end with a lamp or an additional outlet.
Measure and mark the self-adhesive marker of the location of the lamps (depending on the size, they are placed in 45-60 cm increments). Marking is better to do immediately along the entire length of the product to adjust the distance between the elements.
Paste a flat screwdriver in the marked point and push the cables so that the ring form in the form of a ring is formed.
They shake 1-1.5 cm in the center of both wires opposite each other using a stripper or knife. The insulation layer is removed carefully not to damage the veins.
Cutting the bare areas in the loop with a screwdriver or a thin nail.

As a result of processing on the cable, segments appear with pairwise located loops, the cartridge will be attached to each pair.

Fork

The plug is selected in appearance, without grounding. First, it should be disassembled, and then connect to the cable:

Tarring the ends of the wires by 1.5 cm. The part that will be pressed by the retainer must remain in isolation, it will protect the cable from strong beggars.
Click the ends of the wires by locking screws so that the bare parts do not touch each other.
Wear and fix the lid.

If planned to make a garland with a dimmer, besides it will need a connecting block, quickly providing contact and good insulation. In the block weaken the screws (4 pcs.), Then, on one side, the wires of the garlands are inserted into the sleeve channels, on the other - dimmers and spin the screws.

It is better to purchase a dimmer with a cable and a fork - it is easier to mount it (according to the technology, connecting to the device is carried out with a soldering).

Installation of cartridges

In Girland, it does not matter which cable to which contact is to attach. For a product in retro style, the cartridges of an old sample are more suitable - carbolite, which consist of 3 parts:

cylindrical carving hull;
bottom (skirts);
ceramic liner.

The cable is passed through the bottom of the cartridge, put on the contacts of the ceramic insert twisted in the wire loop and fix the screws so that the bare parts do not touch each other. Then they screw the housing.

Connection

Garland, which is a wire without breaks, reliable when stretched and savage. It is designed for 220 volts. It is recommended to check each lamp before screwing to integrity using a multimeter. Only after that it can be included in the network.

Made in retro style garland with incandescent lamps can not be used in such conditions:

under the snow, rain, when the temperatures drop (the flasks burst or a closure occurs);
next to the passed-made materials (paper, cloth);
leave for a long time to be turned on unattended, for example, at night;
mount on Earth or a short distance from it, because It is easy to clink and break the wire.

Plastic cartridges have contact clamps for cable, which are not designed for weight retention, exceeding the weight of the lamp with a cartridge. Therefore, when using them, it is necessary to fix the garland every 1.5 m.

Sequentially connect the elements in the manufacture of garlands is not recommended, because The power consumption of each subsequent lamp will be less than the previous one, for example, from 15 lamps only the first 3-4 will shine. And if 1 lamp begins, the chain will break and go out all the others.

With a parallel connection to one garland, you can screw the lamps of different sizes and power. If you wish to make 1 long decoration, you need to take into account the power of the power supply. Standard plug and socket are designed for load 5 A (1 kW). If the garlands are somewhat, each must connect to a separate outlet.

Lamps can be painted with watercolor paints or gouache. Store the garland in the box, not allowing mechanical pressure.
