[Design and Technology] Lamp project

[pauldawes]

Thanks all for your help.  Designability looks like the go.

 

FYI, I went to the Design Festival Market at Fed Sq on Sunday and I saw a
great lamp using a fluro available from Beacon, etc.  The lamp is wall
mounted and sits behind a scene laser-cut from plywood.  With our new
lasercutter coming in a few weeks I have soooo many new ideas for projects!

You can get parts from Designability. They also have a course outline and
book. The only thing that needs to be done is using a screwdriver to tighten
screw on wire end. I have done this with 3 year 10 groups and only once was
there an issue when one student put both ends together in one side. Globe
blew when turned on. 

Cheers, Heather

Hi all,

 

Has anyone undertaken a lamp project in middle-senior years recently?

 

I am considering doing one that is relatively cheap (no low-voltage) and
doesn't require me to do any 240V wiring.  I can't seem to locate anyone who
can supply me the plug-switch-socket in one piece.  I don't want to have to
go to an electrician to check them all - or do I have no choice?

 

If anyone out there has experience, supplier contacts, design briefs, etc..
and would like to share I'd appreciate it.

 

Cheers,
