Adapter socket - cartridge

A simple adapter from a light bulb socket to a socket can be useful in public areas where there are no permanent outlets for connecting electrical appliances, but only lamps with light bulbs. This could be your entrance, basement, etc.

There are times when you need to use a power tool in these places, but there is nowhere to power it. This simple device will come to your aid, which can be made from a burnt-out LED or energy-saving lamp.

What will you need for the adapter?

LED or other light bulb in a plastic case.
Wall socket with open installation.
A piece of wire with a cross-section of 1-2 squares.

Making a socket-socket adapter

We disassemble the light bulb, separating the glass sphere from the plastic. Usually it is glued and if you pry it with a screwdriver, the sphere will move away from the plastic. Be careful.

We take out all the electronics from the insides and solder the wires to the lamp base. The operation requires skill and a thin soldering iron.

We clean the wires.

We disassemble the socket. Drill a hole in the back of the socket for the wires.

Pass the wires through the hole.

Connect to contacts. We twist it.

Glue the socket to the lamp as in the photo. Hot or regular terminals.

We assemble everything, screw the socket housing.

Your adapter: socket socket is ready! Sometimes a very necessary thing, so feel free to collect it, it will definitely come in handy in the household.
