![JackonLux rechargeable LED bulbs: Backup Emergency light for power.💡 [146]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wIKumiyqrGM/mqdefault.jpg)
Making a cordless lamp is super easy. Making it still give off light after you cut the cord is the tricky part.
Why?.just need a low voltage lamp
Hahaha... that was good! Thank you for the laugh!!
Excellent dad joke.
Hahahaha love it
None of her methods work.
Another positive for creating your lamps is for areas that have power outages due to storms or power grid failures.
Excellent, clear instructions! No annoying chatter (“look at me - I’m trying to differentiate myself on UA-cam by gimmicks and quirky personality”).
Knowledgeable and the introduction of the sponsor’s product was actually useful and not intrusive 👍
Could not agree more!
I find myself becoming a bit judgey when it comes to all the gimmicks but I’m not here to be entertained. I’ve got too many lamps to fix! 😁
Totally agreed 💡
Wow, that is exactly my thought.
I just cant stand those kind of characters 😬
The most impressive thing about this video is how seamlessly you plugged those Dap products. That was awesome!!
There are actual lightbulbs that are rechargeable, but you offered great options. Also, that lamp you made is so pretty.
Do they make them in candelabra size?
To get more then 5v from a supported usb charger you need a little chip that talks to the powerbank to negotiate a voltage. Look for something like a zy12pdn. That is a little board that supports asking for up to 20v
There are some specialised USB-C cables that also have this 12v request chip
e.g. www.amazon.com/Blind-SPOT-Adapter-Device-Battery/dp/B08CCX5S96
I guess, as mentioned by other commenter is the easiest: buy rechargeable light bulb (probably $10 each), 2 light bulb for each: one being used, one being charged.
As a lighting designer, I have to say your tips are spot on. You are lucky that the shades and harp were compatible sizes!
Show your work lighting designer
Your hair is the prettiest blue that I’ve seen. If my hair looked that good I would have that done on mine
pretty brilliant. never even thought of a cordless lamp but the applications are great. Now if you integrated a smart switch as well i think it would be perfect!
@DuncanBuilds, If it would work with a smart bulb, then theres your smart switch. I question if a fan is built in, then it needs ventilation which would be a bit on the low side inside the lamp. But you can still have it sitting on the floor behind the table the lamps on which is still a viable idea:)
Although I am not making a cordless lamp any time soon, I did learn a few things. Like the readymade powerbank with ac outlet. I have a battery bank with lithium battery. The charging module is fried. I was thinking of modifying it into a table lamp. This video got me thinking! Thanks!
I found your blog online and I'm more of a visual learner so I really appreciate this video. I also couldn't believe how hard a cordless lamp is to locate, so I'm very glad that DIY is an option. Thanks for clearly stating both the pros and cons but also several options and details of how to do this.
What great ideas, I have never really given any thought into cordless lamps but you have given me insite into converting corded to cordless lamps. Thank you.
First video I've found that explains rewiring and hardware fitting clearly.
It is loud. Not my favorite. Not just loud, but big. The third one is my favorite! Already have everything 😊
These could make for a fancy patio setup!
I thought the same for summer houses/garden sheds not connected to mains electric. A lot safer too, given weather and accident potential.
I’ve found a rechargeable 12v battery bank like that on Amazon that I’ve used to add lights to my kids toy kitchen sets. It’s nice because I don’t have to rip through AA batteries anymore. Great video, love the lamp ideas.
Could you post a link?
Great tutorial. I love how you offer different options for the power source and bulbs. One game changer would be to add smart bulbs for more of a remote access to your lighting (if your power source method is suited correctly)
They also sell rechargeable led lights bulbs. And many of them come with a remote. Some even have various color settings if you’re into that stuff. I can’t comment on the lasting power but it’s another option to consider. You can also use puck lights and attach a plastic screw in light socket to attach to the lamp.
Thank you for this great tip! I am using this to make lamps for times of power outages instead of ugly lanterns and flashlights. There is a psychological lift to having "normalcy" during extended power outages. We use battery power inverters during outages and this will help keep use from having so many extension cords as well as be able to have the portability.
Great way to make a camping light.
Love this! Thank you for your in depth research.
I’ll definitely be converting a few lamps with option #3 soon!
If you're going to have a shade over the lamp anyway, you could get away using a rechargeable/battery-powered night light or camping lantern in there, particularly if your lamp shade attaches below the socket, in which case you can just set the battery-powered light on the empty socket. There are literally hundreds of options available on the usual online retailers.
Excellent video and tips. This would be particularly useful for me for power outages as I don’t have a whole house generator! Thanks for doing all of the research as well as offering multiple ways to make a cordless lamp!
You can also just get rechargeable light bulbs on amazon!
Thank you for sharing these great ideas! Also, I feel like you should walk around your house and just admire the gazillion things you have made!
Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you! we just purchased a new home with no floor outlets, this video just saved me!!!
So stocked you made these happen. You have been working these out for years and you knocked it out of the park.
I liked how your hair matches the lamp.
😂😂😂
Thanks for this video! I was looking for ideas on wiring up a battery-powered sconce for my Mom's house and am looking at several videos to find a creative idea. BTW, You'd need a USB-PD (Power Delivery) IC in the bulb/fixture to get your power bank to output 9V - 20V (since it has 9V &12V output, then it supports PD and/or QC, which is Qualcom Quick Charge), and the bulb would need to 'talk to' said IC to negotiate that power draw, along with a USB-C cable rated for PD2.0 or 3.0 fast charging. That sounds like an EXTREMELY NICHE product, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone out there manufactured a DC USB bulb with USB-PD.
You could also use the existing socket and wiring if your lamp didn't have a shade or cover, just snip and attach the USB's power and grounds cables, but you would need to wire up a switch, otherwise it'll be on 24/7 which might not be practical for a battery-powered lamp.
Thanks again!
Another great DIY project for a product many people don’t even realize they may want or need! You could even geek it up to a factor of 10 if you were to add an inexpensive Wyze smart bulb that is temp and even color tunable! 👍🏼😎👍🏼
Wow. They are absolutely beautiful. If I didn’t see you made these I’d think they were factory made and I dare anyone to tell they weren’t by just looking at them.
This is an awesome idea... who needs to have unsightly cords anymore...
Absolutely Ingenious!!
Really helpful in power outages. Also, it's nice to know there's removable glue.
Good job ELisa, not many people would have the courage to undertake what you're trying. This comes from a guy that taught himself how to do wiring in houses.
This was really interesting - thank you. I love that you clearly explain the pros and cons of the three different options. Given that you make a custom lamp at the end, have you thought about USB-powered LED strips instead of a bulb? These are cheap, connect into your USB power bank, and they can also be multi-colour and controlled as a smart home device. Thank you again - great tutorial.
Hey thank you for sharing all of your work process, very helpful. Could you please help make the lamp shade tutorial, please
😀 I wish my wife was that handy. Thanks.
Not handy but atleast she has hands. All I have is a dog. And he only has paws!
Very informative tutorial! Using a power bank seems like a great idea. Replacing all of the double A's seem like a lot of overhead. Thanks for the great options!
For decades, I've had an antique fire fighter's tank that goes on your back. Mine is German. I tried to make a lamp of it, but there are no outlets anywhere near the table it sits on. Now, I can create the lamp and use it. Thank you.
Great job, I love it! No cords, amazing!
Beautiful pair of lamps.
I have to add this to my to-do list 😃! This is so great!!!
Dollar Tree makes a LED light bulb that looks like a regular bulb and runs on a coule double aa's. You could modify the socket or find a way to hang it off the harp which would be disguised under the shade. There are probably Led's that could be modified that run on battery and havre remote on off.. this would be much less expensie
Do you a have a picture plz,I want to make a decorative lamp,thanks.
Sweet I was always wondering lol
Very nice! Thank you -- I've been wondering about the best way to do this.
This is fantastic - thank you. Re the 3rd option with the rechargeable AA batteries; very roughly how much 'light time' do you get?
Love this video clip. Great ideas great implementations. Idk if anyone else commented yet but I had a question. Standard 110v rated cords with two prongs for the wall, they have one side that's smooth and one side that's ribbed . One indicates live wire and that goes to the lamp socket after the underwriters Knott. So when you clip the cord and connect to the battery bank will that factor in? Do we need to know or be aware of which wire on the cable is live vs ground?
I liked & subscribed.
A month ago I ordered a replacement torcher-style lamp, going from halogen to LED.
The new lamp is very nice & it is my first to have a remote-control, which I like.
I like power-banks, too.
Thank you for this! I have 3 areas I need to do this too! So excited!
Thank you for your great ideas here! I have a small lamp that I want to put inside a cabinet. It would be great if I could add a timer to this so I don't have to get in and out of cabinet to turn it off/on. I have Christmas decor that has battery pack with timer but having a hard time finding a larger battery pack like this with a timer. Any ideas?
Hi ! Awesome ideas. About the second solution with the 5V battery pack (7:02). Those packs can deliver 5, 9 or 12V. This is for fast-charging mobile phones, but this feature is controlled by the internal battery pack microcontroller. They will deliver 12V only to a compatible device that identifies as such (microcontroller-negotiated voltage). This is meant to avoid delivering 12V to an old device that should only take 5V.
Regarding the USB socket, you could re-use the socket of your lamp with the 5V light bulb. No need of a special cable. You can just strip any old USB cable and connect the +5V (red) to the center of the socket and the Ground wire (black) to the outside. The green and white wire from the USB would not be used, just cut or tape them.
To connect the wires, you can re-use the existing ones (just cut to the desired length). The 110V wires will be well too big for 5V, but it's not a problem (the invert would be). The wires can be connected by either soldering (ideal) but also using screw terminals, Wago-style connectors, or even the good old twist and tape method. This is only going to run 5V with low intensity, so there are very few dangers.
About the 12V solution (10:15), one thing that comes to mind is the battery packs that are used for CCTVs. There are 12V ones and they are fully rechargeable. I have seen some online for about $30 for 14Ah (14000mAh).
I hope this helps someone :-)
There are cables with usb-c on one side and 12v dc jack on the other. I am using one of those to power up my telescope, so it’s possible to use it for lamps as well
You are so talented! Thank you!
Did you also do a solar power commercial..
Great video! I've been looking for cordless lamps. This would be cheaper and easy to customize. Thank you for sharing!
What a great idea. I LOVE this video. Thanks for all your tips and tricks. I have always wanted to do this.
I wondered why - after you cut the plug off the lamp using conversion option #3 - didn't you then pull the cord back INTO the lamp base, then connect it to the power source, instead of wrapping it around the bottom so that it can still be seen? Very good video by the way.
Good job. Thank you.
I like your approach in coming up with different solution
Absolutely love the diy lamps 👏👏👏👏
I am glad you made this because, I want good lighting in my living room and the plug is so far away. Why, idk but thanks for sharing this 👍🏽
These are not bad but you could just use puck lights i use them and they require no extra headache and they work great
are puck lights available as bright as a bulb?
Puck lights burn out way too quickly for my taste! I was running thru batteries so fast, I gave up on those lights. And the hassle of using rechargeable batteries wasn't worth it.
This is perfect 👌 thanks!!!!
It’s easy to get rechargeable AA batteries as well. Thank you for sharing!
Do you know if there’s any new (2022) gadgets to do this? I’m trying to get power to a small air pump for a fish bowl. Love your lamps❤️🇦🇺
Great tips, not even something we would have thought of! Love it!
Here's the deal. I bought all the items you had a link for in the description. Found a lamp cut the cord and hooked everything up as indicated in the video. Nothing, I checked if there was power coming from the Battery holder box and there was. Here's the key......the rechargeable batteries in the description give off 1.2 volts of power. 1.2 V X 8 = 9.6 volts. Obviously not 12 Volts, so that is why it will not power on. Make sure to find rechargeable batteries that give off 1.5 volts so you can get the necessary 12 volts to power the bulb. Otherwise this is a great video and I appreciate you taking the time to make it. You make great videos, and thank you!
Thanks this a really good idea especially with the lights going out the way they do who need a flashlight when you can have a ramp.
👋🏾 Waves, Im trying to go camping for the first time. I want to carry my mini heater. What battery bank do you suggest?
Great video.
Personally I use my cordless tool batteries to power up any lighting during power outage or hobbies.
Option#2 (5v bulb and USB e26 socket) could be accomplished by using the "cord cutting" method of Option#3 and would then need a male USB a cable to cut apart instead of the e26 socket with USB lead. I have done this myself in the past. Works with the on/off twist knob on the original e26 socket as well.
I was thinking this exact same thing.
Thank you for all this! Have you tried the cordless, self powered, rechargeable light bulbs with remote? I loved the video. At the end when you were making the two custom lamps, I kept having to tell my brain that wasn't a cigarette hanging out of your mouth.
Very insightful and creative.....Thank you for sharing.
thanx. battery bank came in useful with cordless led strip installation
Nice project!
Another advantage with the third option is if you get an extra set of batteries you don't have to wait for them to charge since you have the extra set of batteries already charged ready to swap in. Good modern rechargable batteries keeps their charge when stored for a long time. I recommend IKEA's "LADDA" batteries since they have excellent performance for the price.
Very informative. Thank you!
What about rechargeable lightbulbs? Would you consider them an option?
Really good tips ...I was thinking of Generac
Nice overview of options; thank you for doing the homework and sharing.
Do you need to go with the 12V setup or could a 9V setup be used instead?
I need to make a industrial lamp that runs an Edison bilulb wireless for a steampunk project. Would any of these work?
very cool im gonna work on a few lamps
Absolutely loved it
Very clearly explained
I just subscribed! Thank you for easy instructions. Just came across your video while looking for DIY's for fairy light watering can, so happy I found you.
Extension cords are only cheaper if you have a place that is out of the way from foot traffic. To put floor outlets are nice but expensive much more than this handy project! I initially was searching for a way to make it work wirelessly (Bluetooth). Any ideas? Thank you!!
Michi
Your idea and instructions great ideas! Also your instructions are clear and easy to follow
Thank you!
Fantastic idea!!!!
Great idea!
Love this so much! (Where did you get the spheres?) :)
Off topic, sorry....what product do you use on your hair to get that shade of blue? It's exactly the shade I have been looking for🤗
Thank you!
Love your lamps!
great job!
Great ideas.
Wow! I didn't know Bulma had a UA-cam channel. Subscribed.
Thanks for sharing...
Who's gonna remember to charge these things!!😆
Thanks for the great video! Your explanations are really clear, your voice is nice, and you speak at just the right speed. One tangential question: How to pick out the correct shade? Lamp bases are easy, but I can never figure out which shade I should put on it. I often end up with unintentionally funny results. (Think giraffes & warthogs...) 😁 Thanks again for the informative video.
For your third technique you can also consider using a Sony camera NPF style battery configuration. They are rechargeable and very affordable. And would last a very long time with just one battery.
Yes, nipple is used in so many facets in the construction & fabrication industries. Lamps are Super Dope Kid!! Always making some of the coolest stuff!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
cool lamps girl. thx
Like technique 3 you can use a DeWalt battery adapter which has the positive and negative lines drawing power from the battery. And use a 12v DeWalt battery that you may have laying around. Much easier to recharge. Thanks I might give it a shot
Sounds good. You could also have plenty of extra batteries charging on standby for a quick swap out. What model do you suggest?
