Homemade plumbers, from a lamp. I make a socket out of lighting holders.

To make this homemade product, we need an old LED lamp. From which it is necessary to take out all the insides. The first step is to remove the flask. In cheap lamps, this is done with a single movement of the hand. We hold the base with one hand, the second diffuser and turn it counterclockwise.

As you can see I tried to repair this lamp, but it still failed. Link to an article about this at the end of this post.

We take out the insides

Further it is necessary remove the base. We do it carefully. It is aluminum. I clamp it lightly in a vice. And I make a slight movement for scrap. The base is free. Even if it is crumpled, you can align it.

Removing unnecessary wires, push out from the inside of the base, with a heated object (I have a soldering iron), the central contact pad from its place.

To this place push the wire, I use 0.75mm diameter. I put the contact that was pushed out earlier. He sits down firmly, with effort.

One feeding the wire is ready. The next step is to connect the second wire to the screw part of the base. To do this, I take the wire and bend it at the edge of the screw part. I put the basement in its place in the plastic case. Be sure to fasten it with an isopleth, preferably blue. But I didn't have it at hand.

In a flask make a hole in the diffuser. We draw a wire into it. Leaving a small stock, we also tie a knot. So that, with a strong jerk, the wire tore out the flask, and not the contacts (protection from the fool).

Further we connect the socket and the base for the lamp to the free end, I will not describe this process in detail, science is not great. But I uploaded the photos to the gallery:

As a result, we got such a "miracle".

Tests

I mount our product into a lighting holder instead of a light bulb, we twist the lamp into the hanging base to illuminate the workplace, and I plug any device into the socket, be it a drill, perforator, etc. Attention, you must not overload the network intended for lighting with high powers. Devices such as a welding machine, heaters, etc., will disable the network, the wires will burn out. They require a separate line.

Usually, we used this product in basements when installing a water supply system, you cannot find electrical outlets in the old fund of houses, and there are always lighting bases. This homemade product is very helpful when working with a power tool.
