Dodecahedron Lamp

To continue on the previously designed tetrahedron lamp, I designed dodecahedron lamp. I also found tetrahedron lamp to be a bit on a smaller side, so this time I wanted something larger. This lamp is 360mm (≈ 14 inches) tall and 320mm (≈ 12.6 inches) wide and deep.

You can use LEDs with this lamp and there is a special frame designed for LED wiring. You can also use E26 \ E27 standard pendant light with this lamp and there is a special insert for that. You also get a stand if you decide to put the lamp on some surface or you can hang the lamp with pendant light.

You will also find two types of films this time. One is simple and plane, but the other has numbering on it to make the D12 dice lamp for your gaming room.

Assembly

• Glue \ Press fit inserts into frames.
• I used Vellum paper as the inside backing to diffuse the light. You can print and use either of the inserts for light diffusion as well.
• Stick printed inserts or vellum paper to the inside of the frames.
• Glue all frames together using alignment keys and keeping the bottom side open.
• Finish led work or pendant lamp before inserting the bottom insert. I used pendant light wiring kit myself.
• Lastly attach the bottom panel. I used tacky craft glue to attach the bottom panel to be able to take it off if I need to change the bulb.
