Hi, i have made lamp that looks like a redstone lamp. I made it because I thought it would look good in real life.

Please ignore.my english.

Supplies

You will need:

  • 5 OHP paper 20x20cm
  • Cardboard
  • Cardboard strips
  • 5 Black paper 20x20cm
  • LED bulb adaptor
  • Warm white LED bulb

The Enclosure

Well i made 5 panels. 1 for the top and 4 for the sides. The bottom is just the rig for holding the enclosure and the light bulb.

First to make the panel you need to sand down 5 ohp papers on one side properly to make them translucent for better diffusion of light.

Then we need to cut 5 black papers for the design using a cutter. I kind of messed up with the real design of the panel in minecraft but it is ok lol.

Then I stuck some cardboard strip to the sides to support the panels and then stick all the panels together.

Then I applied some masking tapes on the sides and bottom to smooth the edges and hide the crappy sides of cardboard and painted them black with acrylic paint

The Stand

Well i made a stand using 2 20x20 cm cardboard for the bottom base, a support for height and bulb adapter and the main base. I also attached a light bulb adapter and some support things at the corners of the main base so that the enclosure is aligned properly.

I again applied some masking tapes on the sides and painted them black.

(I had run out of black acrylic paint so i couldn't paint the masking tapes at the bottom properly)

And Done!
