Ceiling light adaptor

youmagine

I recently discovered that I had a bunch of oversized halogen bulbs in my ceiling, measuring an astonishing 63mm or 64mm in diameter and using 50 watts. The problem was finding suitable LED lights with this unusual size - most were only available in standard 50mm diameters. In response, I rapidly created an adapter to make the larger lights compatible. I chose to print the adapter in white ABS plastic because of concerns about heat, but these LED bulbs don't actually produce a significant amount of it. They run at just 7 watts and are much cooler than traditional halogen bulbs. The printing process took approximately 40 minutes at a layer height of 0.1 mm using my Ultimaker 2. If you'd like to make any modifications to the design, I've made available both Collada and Sketchup files (versions 8 or higher) for download.
