Convert a tablelamp to LED for CHEAP!!

Step 2Build it now... no tools needed!

Build it now... no tools needed!
Now just plug in your LED string just as it is bundled together.  Orient the bundle so the LED's point UP and DOWN... That way all the light goes out of the lampshade instead of being reduced in intensity by aiming at the shade.  After the bundle is oriented to point light UP and DOWN, just wrap some electrical tape around the whole thing to hold it all in place.  Replace the shade and you are DONE!  This idea works also in hallway lights that have a glass globe over them... or in CEILING FAN LIGHTGLOBES... because the bundle is not visable through the opaque glass. Any light that is not used as a reading light ....is a good one to do this to.  Now is the time to get your LED christmas lights at all the after Christmas sales you can buy them for a song!
