We make a simple LED garden lamp from PVC pipes

To fully illuminate garden plants, paths and gazebos, you need at least a dozen lamps. Although they are inexpensive, buying them in large quantities is not cheap. To save a lot of money, you can make the required number of garden lamps with your own hands.

Lamp manufacturing process


A tube cut from a 2 liter PET bottle will be used as a light diffuser in the lamp.

It needs to be put on a 90 mm sewer pipe and carefully seated with an installation hairdryer.

Then you need to make the top cap. To do this, a wall is cut out of a section of a large pipe and leveled using a hair dryer.

White spray paint should be used to paint the inside of the transparent part of the lamp body made from a PET bottle. After this, the previously made plug is glued to hot glue.

From a 50 mm pipe you need to cut a piece of the same length as the lamp body. A hole is made in it at the edge for entering the power wire, after which the LED strip is glued. You will need 1 m of tape. This will be enough for almost 7 turns. You can take 220V tape, it is cut in multiples of a meter. When using it, you do not need a 12 V power supply.

Next, the tube with the tape and the connected power wire is inserted inside the lamp body. There it is put on the coupling glued into the lid. Ready-made lamps can be mounted on poles or simply dug in along garden paths. The result is a very beautiful backlight, from which it is impossible to determine that everything in it was made by hand. It does not take much time to assemble it, so making lamps is quite justified.

      Everyone has their own idea of ​​beauty, but if you wrap the pipe with masking tape, then it can be completely covered with liquid glass tinted in different colors or paints for exterior use, depicting some kind of stains or something thematic.
