LED Fire Torch #2

this is another type of fire torch wall sconce similar to my other instructible https://www.instructables.com/LED-Torchwall-Sconce-Mood-Lighting-Halloween-DD/

red cellophane, LED flame flicker lights, metal rod [i used an old broken shower curtain rod], Aluminum Hobby Sheet, light socket

while removing the light will make the sconce more realistic and brighter it might destroy the light and/or void the warranty. be very careful as the insides of the light are very fragile. pop off the cover

cut the red cellophane for an appropriate size for your LED lights. crumple it into a ball. lay flatish again. roll up to fit over LEDs [ make sure the cellophane does not touch the LEDs as it might cause it to over heat, melt or even start a fire ]. i used hot glue to form the cylinder. a small cardboard tube worked well as a temporarily mold

depending on the thickness/darkness/transparency of the cellophane it might take several layers to get the effect you desire

again make sure the cellophane does not touch the LEDs as it might cause it to over heat, melt or even start a fire. i made my overlay insert to fit snugly into the base of the light i was using.

the patterned aluminum sheet i used was 12" by 24" [30cm by 60cm]. i cut it into six pieces each 6" by 8" [15cm by 20cm]. the light bulbs base had a circumference of about 8" [15cm]. i folded the pieces into six shrouds for the torches.

i drilled three holes in the base and lined up matching three holes in the metal shroud and bolted together

split the rod to allow base to fit. drill holes and fasten together. i used leather rivets. attach wire to base. the light sockets i used came with a cord tightener on the base, however, i did not need to use these.

reassemble the light socket. i used some small aluminum sleeves left over from another project to improve the look of the torch. screw on light bulb assembly. i gave the final product a quick coating of "hammered metal" spray paint to help blend the different parts together [unpainted torch shown here]
