Lamp & Lighting Kits for Laser Projects

You can cut the shade. The wiring is the part you buy. Sockets, cords, bulbs and bases are the half of a laser-cut lamp that has to be safe and standard — and the half that decides what your panels have to fit.

Twelve lighting kits and parts — a wooden petal table lamp, acrylic disc pendant, round and square LED light bases, a dome cage kit, an Edison bulb, an E26 cord socket and a clock movement

Seventeen Lighting Kits and Hardware Lines

Complete DIY kits for wooden petal and spiral lamps, layered acrylic lamps, a lattice lantern pendant, a dome cage table lamp and an acrylic disc pendant. Plus the parts on their own: E26 twisted-cord pendant sockets, 120V Edison-style bulbs (North American mains; check the rating for your region), adjustable table lamp hardware and clock movements.

The rubber wood LED bases come round, square and rectangular, with a groove or an open slot — the slot is what lets an engraved acrylic panel stand in the light instead of next to it.

Design the Shade Around the Hardware, Not the Reverse

Check the hardware before you draw anything. A pendant or table lamp kit fixes the socket diameter and, with a filament bulb, how much clearance the shade needs; a grooved LED base fixes the panel thickness instead. Not every kit includes a bulb, so the heat question follows the light source you actually fit.

The heat one catches people. A filament bulb — including the ones sold in the Edison shape — runs hot enough to scorch a thin plywood shade at close range, which is why LED bases exist for anything sitting directly against the material.

Pick Your Light

Pendant, table or edge-lit — each needs different hardware.

Lattice lantern pendant light DIY kit

Pendant lamp kits

A lattice lantern, an acrylic disc and a wooden spiral, each with the cord and socket included. Designed to hang from a fixed ceiling point, so the shade itself is not structural. Follow the kit’s own instructions for mounting and for the mains connection, and have the wiring done by someone qualified if you are not sure.

Dome cage table lamp DIY kit

Table lamp kits

Wooden petal, dome cage and a modern adjustable kit. Self-supporting, so the base has to be heavy enough for the shade you cut.

Rectangular rubber wood LED light base with an open slot

LED light bases

Rubber wood in round, square and rectangular, with a groove or open slot. This is how an engraved acrylic panel becomes an edge-lit piece.

120V Edison bulb

Bulbs, sockets and movements

120V Edison-style bulbs (North American mains; check the rating for your region), E26 twisted-cord sockets, connector kits for linear shafts, and clock movements for anything that also tells the time.

What the Hardware Decides Before You Cut

Read these off the kit, then design the panels.

Panel thickness

A grooved LED base accepts one thickness. Cut 5mm acrylic for a 3mm groove and it will not seat; cut 2mm and it rattles.

Socket and shade clearance

The socket diameter sets the minimum hole in the top panel, and the bulb envelope sets how far the shade has to stand off.

Heat at close range

Filament bulbs run hot, and the Edison shape is sold as both a filament bulb and a cool-running LED — check which you have. With a filament bulb, keep plywood and paper shades well clear; an LED base is what lets the material sit against the light.

Whether it is edge-lit or enclosed

Edge-lighting an engraved acrylic panel needs a slot base and a frosted engrave. An enclosed shade needs diffusion and ventilation instead.

FAQs

What do I need to make a laser-cut lamp?

A shade you cut yourself, and a wired socket assembly you buy. A pendant kit gives you cord, socket and canopy; a table lamp kit adds the base and switch. Check each kit’s contents, follow its instructions for the mains side, and never improvise the electrical half.

What is an LED light base for?

How thick should the acrylic panel be for an LED base?

Can I use a wooden shade with an Edison bulb?
