a piece of plastic for maximize the button size

a little bit glue

Wire:

ca.50cm 1x1,5mm2

everything together should not cost more than 100€

Step 2: The Case

Build everything off what at the IKEA lamp is soluble.

  • Take the yellow color and dyeing the box completely. Also the plate of the bottom.
  • Do it where you do not mess up everything yellow.
  • Let it dry.
  • Take the template (images) print them out and cut them out.
  • Take the black paint and spray a question mark on.
  • Make sure that the question mark is not the wrong way. (because I did it at the first time)
  • Let it dry.
  • cut a hole for the button in the plate of the bottom (image 2)
  • click the button in it

Step 3: The Circuit

look at the image.

ceiling:

  • cut off the plug of the lamp
  • press a hole in the middle of the cover distributor
  • put the wire through it
  • make a knot for strain relief

lamp:

  • solve the strain relief by the socket
  • open the socket
  • solve one wire

  • connect this with the connector and a piece of the single wire
    (this goes to the button)

  • another wire go from the free clamp to button
  • press the two Flat-plug-sleeve at the ends of the wire
  • cut a pice of the socket (for wires)
  • click it all back together
  • maximize the button size with piece of plastic and glue

Make sure the strain relief and the isolation!

Step 4: Optional With Sound

see images.

Step 5: The Installation

look at the image.

Make sure again the strain relief and the isolation!

Think about it you are working with hazardous voltage!!!

Remove or disable fuses.
secure against re. and measure bevor work.

cable it like your lamps before, it easy.

If you want to go the save way connect the yellow/green one to the metalgrid.

Step 6: The Final

Test it with a red or green cap.
