Lampe GUMMILUMI
Idea: Anton Kerner, Ingolstadt
Table light made out of old bike tire, wheel of a barrow and appropriate linchpin/axle, cable of electric iron, plug, frame of a lampshade (i.e. Ikea), E27 socket, low energy bulb 11 Watt, 19 spax screws 2,5x10
Shade -- Cut tire into pieces of 20 cm. Screw one tire pieces to another at the top and at the bottom with the spax screws. Bend it in the middle. Use as many pieces as you like - take more and the lampshade becomes wider.
Stand -- Put axle into wheel. Fix socket at the axle. Pull up the cable through the wheel up the axle to the socket.
Attach shade with the help of the lampshade frame und screw in bulb. The rest of the tire can be fixed at the stand as leaf.
Alternative for beginners: Buy a lampstand for example at Ikea and substitute the base plate with the wheel of a barrow
