A friend asked me to enlighten the peninsula (table) of its cuisine.

I saw these tea lamps in a supermarket.

I decided to buy them and give them a new and different life! :)

I opened the lamp and removed the iron box of candles

I used the hole saw to drill a hole in the bottom of the lamp.

Remove the Ring

I removed the top and the ring with a screwdriver and I cut for projecting parts with sheet cutter.

I plugged in the lamp holder and I screwed its plastic ring and I shook with force.

I reassembled the top to the bottom and I did a test:

It works !!!! ;)

The Chain

Before attaching the lights to the ceiling,
I tied a piece of string to the cable in the cup which hides the wires and I did go through the hole bottom.

Below, I used the wire to stop the first link in the chain (which must be twisted along the electrical cord to the lamp).

At the End...
