How to make a lamp?

[B.P.R 2,798]

Seen that a few of you's have made budget lamps with a bit of DIY.

 

So how do you make a lamp kit. What kit do you need and what battery etc. Also how would you charge it?

 

Might give it a wee go if it's cheap

Enough. I'm a disaster at DIY so an idiots guide would help. Also any pics of your homemade lamps?

 

Cheers.

Them laserlite's are spot on for bunnie's and if you pooch has good eye sight you can chase stuff further afield...they only have a 50watt bulb so you can get quite a bit of use out of a single battery they also have a smaller work light which is handy for gutting and getting over fence's...you can also buy a seperate cowl for the front to attatch different coloured filter's which are easy to use one handed if you put it on upside down..

The only thing i did not like about the laserlite's is they keep burning the switch out..

There is lad I know bastardised one these lamps and works a treat.

 

Cut the battery off the back of it were and cut bit plyboard for the hole and sealed it all up.

 

Also messed about with handle and switch.

 

Think he put 50 or 75 watt bulb in it.

My old man has got one of these torches. So once he cut the battery off the back how did he wire the battery to it? What battery did he use?

Old saying "Buy cheap Buy twice" Save up and buy the best you can afford

Anybody selling a cheap lamp + battery kit? The boy has saved up his own money for a lamp. He saved up £40 and I will put £20 to it that he doesn't know

About. I was going to buy him one but he's adamant he wants to but his own. Thanks. Kyle
