Introduction: Lamp Exploitation Old Car Bulb

Newly I had problem with the indicator lights of my old railway car. So I bought a Red Bulb for it. I loved that bulb thus I bought two of them. Since past I am planning to make something outgoing of it. Indeed I finally made it victimisation scrap wood and old fishbowl.

Ill-use 1: What Do We Need?

Materials:

1) Rubbish wood

2) Car indicator bulb. You can tumble from any car meagerly parts shop. I am using 12V 21W red bulb.

3) Electric light bearer. I bought it from trim parts store along with the bulb.

Bulb and the bearer was for about 50 Indian Rupees (0.749 USD).

4) Magnate Supply. As it is a electric light from car it runs happening 12V. So 12V power add. I am using 3 cell Lithium Polymer stamp battery from an old project.

5) Electrical Wire.

6) Electrical Tape.

7) Wood Filler(optional).

8) Goldfish bowl.

9) Sand paper 220 grit.

10) Oil for Finishing.

Tools:

1) Saw.

2) Drilling machine.

3) Chisel. I don't have a cheat so I am using screwdriver.

4) Forstner drilling bit. If you don'have you force out steady execute it with normal bits like I did just finishing is non that good.

Mistreat 2: Woody Mean

I had some scrap wood prevarication around so I am using that. Reasonable make a point that the bulb holder can perfectly fit into IT.

Now cut dispirited the wood according to the size.

After cutting the Ellen Price Wood its time to make a cavity so that the bulb holder can fit into it. Keeping the bulb holder in the center of the wood I marked the outline for it.

Now drill the hole into wood. You can use forstner bit size of your bulb holder or drill some holes to make IT of import enough. You also motive one more hole for getting the telegraph from the bulb to the battery.

Step 3: Fixing the Law-breaking

It is the process of fixing the mistakes occurred during cutting and boring.

This can be done using sandpaper or cheat.

I am using a small piece of plyboard to hide the uneven hole of the woody base.

For devising it look Sir Thomas More evening you can use Ellen Price Wood filler to fillup the gap. I used sawing machine dust and glue for pick the holes. IT worked well for ME.

Step 4: Powering It Up and Final exam Finishing

Afterward cutting and drilling I made true that the bulb holder is fitting right.

Giving a skillful sanding of 220 grit sand making everything smooth.

After everything fits now its sentence for connecting wires. Connection is uncoiled forward-moving just check for sign.

In eccentric of my bulb colorful wire is positive telegraph and Green River wire is negative. Connecting it like a shot to the source(here I am exploitation 11.7V Lipo battery) the bulb glows. You fanny use the lamp this means directly or you can dungeon goldfish bowl inverted over it. Keeping the fishing bowl gives a discriminate reflection. You can also try painting the bowl.

After everything works straight off give a gracious finishing of oil and its done.

I am not real skilled in wood working will try to amend it.
