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!

@la196 3 ай бұрын

@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:)

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

@bbasmdc 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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!

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 :-)

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

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.

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.
