Putting LED lamp at home

idea №1 - We modernize halogen bulb

easiest way to make the LED lamp of the burned-type halogen bulb with socket - GU4. In this case, you will need the following materials and tools:

• LEDs.Their number, choose yourself depending on how much should be bright LED lighting.Immediately draw your attention to the fact that more than 22 diodes is not necessary to choose (this would complicate the assembly process and also make a light bulb is too bright).
• Super glue (and a regular fit, but it will take longer to freeze, which will not allow to make LED lamp quickly).
• small piece of copper wire.
• Resistors.Their number and calculates the power of online calculator.
• small piece of aluminum sheet (an alternative option - a common bank of beer or soft drink).
• Internet access.You will need to open a special online calculator to calculate the LED lamp circuit.
• Hammer, a soldering iron and punch.

prepare all materials can go directly to the assembly of diode bulbs.For instructions on creating a self-made source of light we will provide step by step, with photo examples of each stage, you clearly see the installation process.

So, to make the LED light at 12 volts, you must do the following:

1. Remove the old halogen bulb glass top and white putty near the pin base (as shown in the photo below).To do this it is best to use a screwdriver.
2. Turn the lamp cap facing upward and gently with a hammer knock the pins out of the seat.The old halogen bulb must fall.
3. According to the chosen number of LEDs come up with a scheme of arrangement, on the basis of which to make a paper stencil.You can use the existing harvesting and print one of the ready-made circuits that are provided in the picture:
4. Attach the stencil to the aluminum sheet with the help of super-glue, cut sheet in the form of the stencil, and then punch make seats for LEDs.
5. Generate Internet LED lamp assembly drawing for your conditions.In our case, for the creation of LED light bulbs in the home of the 22 diodes to collect the following scheme:
6. Place the aluminum disk to a convenient stand and insert it into the seats LEDs, as shown in the photo.To simplify the soldering process bends the cathode of the diode one leg to the other leg of the anode.
7. Carefully seal the light-emitting diodes, making them a single design.An important point - the glue does not get on the diodes feet, becausesoldering will be allocated very unpleasant smoke.
8. When the glue hardens, proceed to the soldering legs.By the way, you recommend to do the soldering iron with their hands, which also does not take much time.According to the scheme solder diodes, LED lamps, leaving only one leg of the plus and minus one for power supply.Feet "-" recommended that half the crop that are not subsequently reverse the polarity of contacts homemade LED light bulbs.
9. According to the scheme solder resistors to negative terminals.As a result, according to our example should have pins 6 and 6 plus minus (resistors).
10. Solder resistors according to the generated schema.
11. It is formed by two solder contacts on the same piece of copper wire, as a result will make the pin base LED bulb at home.By analogy with the previous board one leg at a time make shorter (minus), then to nothing to confuse and complete the connection.
12. to the future is not a short circuit, carefully seal the space between the legs derived.
13. Follow the finish assembly of LED bulbs: drive, place the target and carefully seal the it.
14. marker sign on the case where the assembled LED lamp "+" and where "-", and designate that a homemade light source is designed for connection to the power supply of 12 volts rather than 220.
15. Test the assembled homemade.To do this, connect the LED bulb to the car battery or power supply unit 220/12 volt.

That's just such a simple way you can make the LED lamp with his hands improvised.As you can see, nothing complicated, and especially a lot of time would be required to spend to build!We recommend necessarily see some of the best ideas for light bulbs at home, which we have provided in the video gallery:

idea №2 - «housekeeper" in the course of!

second, no less interesting idea - to collect the bulb from the energy-saving lamps.There is also no particularly serious work and deal with the assembly even very experienced electrician. First you need to prepare the following materials and tools to build the LED lamps with their hands:

1. of the failed "housekeeper."
2. piece of fiberglass.
3. According to the generated circuit (about it we said above) the constituent elements: resistors, capacitors, LEDs.In our example, the scheme will be as follows:
4. drill for drilling fiberglass.In this case it is better to do a mini drill with their hands, which will be convenient to make the holes.
5. soldering.
6. Sodium chloride, copper sulfate, and nail polish.

prepare all the materials you can proceed to the assembly.These instructions are more creative, so if you decide to make a diode bulb burnt out housekeeper, to see photo examples.

Stages:

1. Cut out of fiberglass circle diameter of 3 cm
2. With varnish Draw tracks on the circuit board of this example:.
3. Make a solution of 1tablespoon of copper sulfate and 2 tablespoons of salt.All this stir in warm water.
4. When the varnish hardens on the day lower cost in a solution.As a result, there will be only copper tracks that you have protected with lacquer, the rest will disappear copper during the reaction.
5. acetone to remove remaining varnish from fiberglass and proludite clean track.According to the scheme
6. make small holes with a drill.
7. Solder all the elements of a self-made driver.
8. Carefully disassemble the old energy-saving lamp and remove from it all but the wires from the cap.
9. Fasten your option board with LEDs, solder the wires and seal.If you did everything right, the result should be the same as in the photo below.

In this manual, you can easily make the LED lamp of fluorescent or halogen bulbs!

idea №3 - LED tape as a basis

If you do not own a soldering iron so well and at the same time have no idea how to build circuit on the glass fiber, it is better to do with their hands LED lamp of LED tape.In this case, instead of the power supply, you can use the driver that converts 220 volts in the network 12. The only significant disadvantage of this method - large size power supply, so this option is recommended in case you decide to do in the room LED lighting spotlights.You can try to collect all the lights for them with their own hands and connect to a single power supply that easily hide in the ceiling.

So, all you need to do is:

1. Make a frame for future lamp.To do this, cut a small piece of plastic pipe.
2. on each side of the pipe, seal on a small segment of LED strip.Cut LED strip is necessary only in certain places, which are specified by the manufacturer (usually every 3-4 diode).
3. Connect all segments in parallel with a soldering iron, then solder the wires to each beam along the segment of copper wire (for easy connection to the power supply).If you decide to install a homemade diode lamp in the old energy-saving, simply solder the leads from the tape to the wire cap by analogy with the instructions above.

That's the instructions for assembling the LED lamp of the tape.As you can see, everything is much easier than even to make a light bulb on the generated schema.At the same time, our simple instructions to an end, and now you know how to make LED lamp with your hands from the energy-saving light bulbs, diode tape and halogen light source!We hope that the ideas were provided useful and understandable for you!
