DIY Table Lamp: OPPLE Tube Light Conversion Guide

If you are interested in DIY desk lamps, you might want to take a look at this article.

If you happen to have a defective OPPLE tube light with high color rendering but feel troubled because you don’t know where to use it, you can suddenly come up with the idea of converting it into a desk lamp, and once you prepare the materials you can start making it.

If you happen to have a small bucket, you can cut off the top and bottom parts and hollow it out.

If you happen to have a discarded spiral bulb socket, you can directly solder it onto the wiring.

Put on a beverage cap.

Screw it on as a handle, and the size fits perfectly.

Solder it onto the tube light and cover it with heat-shrink tubing.

Stuff the cap and the base removed from the bucket into the lampshade, and the lamp is completed.

You can try the effect. It has a 95% color rendering index. When turned on, it defaults to a slightly warm 4100K. If you turn it off and on again, it switches to 5400K, and switching again changes it to 2900K. This OPPLE lamp is adjustable (requires a gateway) flicker-free, and quite good.
