Making A Light Fixture From Scratch

Each of the unexpected items below was turned into a ceiling light fixture with the help of in most cases just a simple pendant light kit and some.

Making a light fixture from scratch.

Now put it all together. Lots of different things can be turned into light fixtures. I kicked around a few ideas but i wasn t 100 sold on even my favorite option. One light fixture junction box for the whole kitchen.

These mason jars must be filled with an electric tea light so as to give a soft yet radiant shine and make the ambience much more pleasant. I connected this to the 16v output of the power adapter and will run when the light receives power. Just to be sure the fixture will not overheat i implemented a small fan i had laying around. Pendant lights in particular are probably the easiest type of ceiling light to diy using items you may already have around the house.

Which meant that if i didn t want to hire an electrician and put a bunch of holes in my newly perfect ceilings i needed a single light fixture that would provide enough light for the entire kitchen.
