Indirect Light Fixture Kit

thingiverse

This is a custom lighting fixture that I designed for easy installation, either permanently or with a lamp cord for temporary use. The kit includes a wall bracket/electrical box holding two standard Leviton 9874 porcelain lamp bases, a fascia bracket to mount to the back of the lighting baffle, and an 80mm x 80mm template for quick and easy mounting. The lighting baffle can be any material you choose; I used a piece of pine with a nice grain, but the bracket is strong enough to support most types of wood. Materials List: Printed Parts: 1x - Bracket Box 1x - Fascia Bracket 1x - Wall Mount Template (Optional) Non Printed Parts: 1x - User selected baffle/shade material 2x - Leviton 9874 porcelain lamp bases (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00134U13I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) 2x - M3x16 Screw 2x - Lightbulbs 1x - 8ft Lamp Cord (Optional, not required if hard wiring) 4x - M4x16 Screws 4x - M4 Nuts 4x - Screws (will vary depending on baffle/shade material) 1x - Nail (Optional, only used if using wall mount template) 4x - Wall anchors and screws (As appropriate to your wall material application.) Instructions: Use the wall mount template to determine the desired location of the light fixture. Hang it by a central hole with a nail, allowing it to hang freely for leveling. Once leveled, mark the four hole locations. Remove and discard the template. Install the wall bracket box into the marked location using wall anchors. Install porcelain lamp bases and wire to power or lamp cord. Please note that I am not a professional electrician and have omitted specific wiring instructions; consult your local regulations on electrical power and installation before installing this fixture. After installing the wall bracket, center and mount the fascia bracket to the back of the selected baffle/shade material with 4 screws. Install light bulbs into the sockets, then slide the fascia bracket into the face of the bracket box. Use an M3 screw at the top and bottom of the bracket box to secure the fascia. That's it! I designed this fixture for use with a pair of Phillips Hue bulbs for maximum flexibility, but any bulb will do. This fixture can be made to look as rustic or modern as the room decor warrants since the baffle/shade material is completely independent of the printed pieces. Additionally, I've included mounting holes on the bottom of the bracket if you prefer a more traditional light box style front, bottom, and sides baffle. This fixture provides indirect lighting ideal for use in areas with reflective surfaces otherwise prone to glare such as home theaters and galleries. Print Settings: Printer: FlashForge Creator Pro Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .1mm Infill: 100% Notes: Make sure to print at 100% infill as this is a load bearing piece. The bracket box should be printed with the wall side down. Because all overhangs are 45 degrees, I did not need supports to successfully print it.
