Turn&lock Socket for Elements Lamp

thingiverse

This redesign enhances http://www.thingiverse.com/part:3404 by incorporating an outer bracket with hinges and an inner part that securely holds a lamp socket. The updated design simplifies light-bulb replacement while maintaining precise dimensions to avoid obstructing the hook on the back of the socket. It is specifically designed to work in conjunction with decorative polyhedral Elements for creating lamps providing diffuse lighting (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6281). The lamp's back-hook allows flexible hanging, and when combined with several truncated-icosahedral lamps on a chain, the setup can be draped over other furniture. This durable, beautiful, and easily movable light source is protected by a plastic shell surrounding the light-bulb, enabling it to be left on the floor without risk of damage. (Word count: 60)
