Lamp holder and shade for OTS 28mm GU10 fixture for igorF2's articulated LED lamp

thingiverse

I built igorF2's articulating LED lamp for my office wall, but needed to adapt the lamp holder to hold the off-the-shelf GU10 fixtures I had available, which have a 28mm outer diameter. I also wanted a diffusing lampshade to spread the light around a bit more and keep the bright bulb out of my eyes when I had it swung out over my shoulder for close-in work. The fixtures I used (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07T2DBT95/) friction-fit into the lamp holder, and the shade has a good 10-20mm clearance from the bulb all around - I still wouldn't put a halogen GU10 in there personally, but for the warmer LED bulbs it should still be fine. This is still a bit of work-in-progress - as you can see from the picture it's perfectly functional, but while it photographs well the thickness of the shade isn't as uniform as I'd like so I'll probably have another go at this soon. The lampshade is mounted to the arm via a 90-degree bracket I made by modifying one of the original lamp arms, in order to provide an extra axis of rotation, which can be found here (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4944479)
