Materials: Tertial lamps, aluminum square tube, electric connectors, 1,5 mm wire
Description: I started by reversing the lamp holder position of 6 Tertial lamps so that they could rotate down when the chandelier was in the ceiling. To do that I had to remove de lamp holders, turn them around and reconnect them. The plugs were cut off.
I used a 5 cm square aluminum tube 140 cm long and made two eyelets for ceiling hanging.
The holes for the lamps are 40 cm apart (10 cm from edges); the lamps were secured in position with 1,5 mm thick wire rings attached to their spokes.
The cables were connected and the chandelier was ready!

that is totally cool, what is the heat like, and what are the light bulbs you are using?
ReplyDeleteI'm using low consumption bulbs — 5W — which look like ping-pong balls; there are no heat problems at all.
DeleteThis was unique lighting in a house. Movable and it can face anywhere.
ReplyDeleteMuito bom resultado!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I would love to make one, it gets really cheap, but my ceilings aren't that high =/
ReplyDeleteMuito bom mesmo, já agora, se eles aguentam-se mais junto ao tecto ou ficam sempre para baixo?
Por si só não fica mais junto ao tecto, teria de apertar mais os parafusos.
ReplyDeleteComo está sobre a mesa de jantar a altura é a ideal e a luz muito agradável.
Genius!
