DIY CHANDELIERS: CREATIVE IDEAS


DIY CHANDELIERS CREATIVE IDEAS
The chandeliers give a light and a more complete look to any room, but often we don't always find the one that meets our needs and our tastes. Not to mention that many of the most original and design chandeliers have a considerable cost.
So how to do it if we want to save money but have a touch of originality and lighting that highlights a room or all of them?
With ingenuity we can make a DIY chandelier that perfectly meets our tastes and the style of our furniture!
For example, if we have a living room with exposed beams or a tavern to be illuminated we could make a chandelier made of glass vases, such as those of preserves or alternatively in a crystal (scotch bottles). How to do? Just cut the bottom part, insert a bulb holder cable long enough to connect it and then insert the light.
The game is done.
But a suggestion before making it must be given.
You need to choose the type of lighting and the effect you want, so you have to focus on the shapes (drop, round, pear, large, medium or small); the type of light if hot or cold; the type of bulb if classic or LED.
Here for the latter point the best advice is definitely to fall back on the choice of LED bulbs.
True that they prove to be more expensive initially, but the saving over time is considerable, as they have a greater resistance and their consumption is very low.

But back to us. Another very nice idea in the presence of beams is to create a series of possibly dark electric wires, to twist around the wood and then hang simple light bulbs.
Should we instead, find an alternative that forces us to install directly on the ceiling?
Perfect! Buy a stick about 80 cm long in chromed or polished steel (here your own taste takes over), the thickness must not be exaggerated but able to bear the right weight; colored or single-colored ropes and cables depending on the type of furniture or room; bulbs of different sizes in order to alternate them.
Twist the wires around the stick and fix it to the ceiling, letting the bulbs go down. If you like a more rustic style, you can use a strong wooden stick instead of a steel one.

These are just some ideas of how to make a DIY chandelier!
Now have fun studying the one that's right for you and make it happen, based on your tastes and your needs.
It will be funny!

THE RIGHT LIGHTING FOR A GYM

Image
In a place like a gym, it is necessary to find the right light to create a comfortable environment that helps instructors and all those who attend it. The light, in an environment like the gym, has an importance that could be underestimated. In fact, the task of lighting is not to strain your eyes, so you don't need to have too much artificial light, like white or blue ones, nor should there be direct points that can be too annoying. The right light for a gym must be warm and indirect, and above all uniform. In fact, by creating more illuminated points and shadow points, the eye may become unnecessarily fatigued. If the gym is composed of a single room the ideal is the use of led ceiling lights conical in shape that projects light towards the floor. These must be placed above the tools, at least once every two. Beyond the lights, mirrors must also be chosen which have the function of further illuminating the room and allowing the athlete to check that his movements are corre...

DO LED LIGHTS ATTRACT INSECTS?

How many outdoor summer dinners have been completely ruined by that swarm of insects that flutters around the lights? How many times have we had to wait in the dark to be able to close the windows so that the insects wouldn't fly in? Insects, in fact, are endowed with a particular sensitivity to light, which leads them to be attracted or rejected. Some, such as cockroaches, instinctively run away from every ray of light, looking for the first dark corner; others, like moths, mosquitoes or gnats, are attracted to light and fly near it, often even at the cost of their own life, since they risk being killed by the heat of the light bulb. This phenomenon is called phototaxis, that is the correlation between movement and light, and negative phototaxis is defined when its research consists in the refusal of light and phototaxis. This still does not explain the reason for this correlation. Light is, for some insects, a source of orientation: in nature, in fact, they move thanks to the...
