Making a lamp from PVC pipe with your own hands


I started with the simplest thing and assembled the base of the lamp. To do this, take a PVC flange, a polystyrene tray and use the flange to squeeze out a circle. The result was a perfectly even circle.

All that remains is to make a slot in the pipe (I bit it off with wire cutters). This way you can easily remove the pipe from the base. For example, if you need to replace a light bulb.
IMPORTANT! Use either an LED or energy-saving light bulb. An ordinary incandescent lamp will melt the lamp!

We can finish here. But you can improve the lamp a little more. For this purpose I ordered from China LED light bulb with RGB backlight and Bluetooth speaker - http://ali.pub/3xqp1b.
