If you are an avid car enthusiast or jack of all trades, then by all means you have a garage or a suitable shed. It is in these rooms that the main need for work is a carrying lamp: there will always be a place that is difficult to access for table and wall lamps, or small parts that require a concentrated beam of bright light. It is easy to make a lamp - carrying out of available waste material with your own hands. A little patience and half an hour of time is all that is needed to create this homemade product!

Materials for work:
• Cord (for example, from an old vacuum cleaner) with a working fork at one end - 1 pc.;
• Pendant lamp holder - 1 pc.;
• Empty cylinder from mounting foam - 1 pc .;
• Chandelier body with a horn (without shade) - 1 pc.;
• Short bolt - 3 pcs.;
• Nut - 3 pcs.;
• Drill, thin drill, screwdriver.

Stages of the work:
The first stage: bring the wires.
We release the old chandelier from the ceiling.

We find the wire from unused household appliances (in the presented version, the cord from the vacuum cleaner was used). It is desirable: the wire is more authentic, with a double insulating layer, so that it has a working plug from one end.

Unscrew the horn from the body. We pass the cord into it so that the direction of movement goes towards the connection of the horn with the ceiling.

Second stage: connect the wires. We are looking for a cartridge hanging for the lamp.

We disassemble it into its components: we disconnect the case and the threaded sleeve, we take out the porcelain insert.

The cord end extended from the horn is freed from external insulation, we clean the wires themselves (by cutting and removing the inner insulation layer from both wires).

We hang stripped wires into the chandelier body.

Further work is carried out inside the luster housing. First, insert the wires into the cartridge case.

We fix it with a special nut, which fastens the horn of the chandelier to the body.

The next step: connecting the wires to the porcelain cartridge insert.

To do this, twist the loop at the end of each of the wires.

Unscrew the contact screws on the porcelain liner. We put a screw in the eyelet. We put the screw in place and fasten it tightly to the insert (the wire ring remains under the screw on the insert).

After screwing the contact screws, we place the porcelain insert in the cartridge case (wires inside).

The third stage: we make a reflector.
To concentrate the direction of light, we make a “curtain” - a reflector, cutting out a shovel-shaped part from an empty cylinder of mounting foam.

From one end of the reflector we drill holes with a thin drill, trying to combine them with the holes on the chandelier body - the places where the lampshade is attached to it (in the presented version of the hole there are three pieces - in the center and edges).

We twist the reflector with the chandelier body with short bolts.

From the inside of the chandelier body, each bolt is fixed with a suitable nut.

That's all. We check the operability of a home-made carrier and begin its immediate operation.
