A LED Ceiling Light Lamp From Recycled Outdoor LED Lamp

This LED ceiling lamp is made completely from recycle parts : the old GE D-type flourescent bulb housing, the LED modules from the first generation LED outdoor light, the AC step down transformer, the AC/DC rectifier, the wires come from old PC power supply.

Surprsingly, it is almost as bright as a Philips myVision 6W LED light bulb costing about SGD15.

Specifications: 
AC 220VAC input 12V DC output
Power about 8 Watts.
Lumens: A comfortable level for a small room to watch TV or browse the Internet or just laze around.

Uses 12 first generation LED modules from outdoor LED lamps. These are connected in a series parallel configuration. As each LED modules needs about 6.5V DC, connected 2 LED modules in series allow them to be powered by a easily available 12V DC power supply. So this ceiling lights uses 6 LED modules connected in parallel which is then connected with another parallel connected assembly of 6 LED modules.

There are two hues from the LED modules, a yellowish hue and a violet hues due to the different characteristics of  the LEDs used in the modules. But the camera is not able to capture this very well.


12 LED modules are installed in this recycle flourescent lamp ceiling fixture.

A tried and test transformer and diodes circuit provides 12V DC

Diiferent shade of white light causes by different characteristics
of LEDs used in the LED modules.





This LED ceiling light is bright enough to take a picture with.
