Stainless steel shelf with attached lamp

post from IKEA Hackers on 19 January 2012 05:36:36 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: KVART, GRUNDTAL, Drill, Drill Lube, Center Punch

Description: I found this site after doing this, so I didn't take notes on the drill bit sizes, but there are 3....
1. Drill out a hole for the main shaft of the lamp. When positioning the hole, keep in mind the flange around the base of the lamp.
2. The little hole for the nub that keeps the lamp from rotating. The spacing in relation to the first hole is important and you may want to drill a hole that's a little big in case you don't get it perfectly.
3. From the back, widen the first hole using a very large bit until the mounting screw can sit down inside of it and be flush with the surface of the stainless steel.

I did this with a handheld drill but a drill press would be preferable. Punch the centers of the first 2 holes and be sure to use lube and nice sharp bits.

Electrified candle-holder hangin' out

post from IKEA Hackers on 19 January 2012 04:35:24 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: RÖNÅS candle-holder, textile cable, lamp socket, drill, shrinking tube

Description: After installing a long counter in my combined living room-kitchen a while ago, installing adequate lighting as well was a constant ToDo item on my list. As I was totally not satisfied with all of the affordable pendant lamps I stumbled upon, I clearly had to make one myself.

By Chance, I found the simple RÖNÅS candle-holder at IKEA. I liked the slick design of the brushed, nearly polished aluminium body (though not finding it to be a nice candle-holder, actually) and imagined it hanging down by some flashy coloured textile cable from the ceiling. By "carefully examining" the sample, it turned out that the base plate can be taken off by removing three small screws. This allows the installation of a bulb with not too great diameter.
