I've seen some very creative ideas, as well as some not-so-much, but I admire everyone for trying.   <br /><br />Perhaps I'll do something else on a grander scale, but for my first hack I just wanted to do something cheap and easy.  <br /><br />Get an Ordning caddy for 2.99 and a Hemma table lamp base for $5.  <br /><br />Now grab yourself a plastic folder (mine was mostly clear, just to diffuse the light.)  $0.50 at Big Lots.  You can use colored if you want for a different look.  Cut it just wide enough to line the inside of the Ordning and it will slide under the lip.  Otherwise you could use glue to secure it I suppose.  <br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjSslBLpa9UCPdmaYzLw4V9gF0-Nqmf9cIHU_MQHSYhyphenhypheneYhJkVCtAE3MLQ9IQaBKcotJAN_v2cPD1uvF7R_vGD9LOPXm6hlWcrH7hsz4gvBTKBYVE6N7jsdEw5nC2mOBAAzpUlptpmJ0KI/s1600/folder-707341.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5819031320446090642" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjSslBLpa9UCPdmaYzLw4V9gF0-Nqmf9cIHU_MQHSYhyphenhypheneYhJkVCtAE3MLQ9IQaBKcotJAN_v2cPD1uvF7R_vGD9LOPXm6hlWcrH7hsz4gvBTKBYVE6N7jsdEw5nC2mOBAAzpUlptpmJ0KI/s640/folder-707341.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xY-Ouy92a1MsYCRw57nGi5roJTNBKvZPBo10-rIuNa1oTTX_bLNo1XUenYf8-vqnJh9oB7qJwRDwALvR3rtU1xd9q2ltnOz-2rdrQfAVXfCIr81jrQnnvMBYkdSCZEnz-Aa_vEeUUxRi/s1600/withliner-711119.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5819031337751416658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xY-Ouy92a1MsYCRw57nGi5roJTNBKvZPBo10-rIuNa1oTTX_bLNo1XUenYf8-vqnJh9oB7qJwRDwALvR3rtU1xd9q2ltnOz-2rdrQfAVXfCIr81jrQnnvMBYkdSCZEnz-Aa_vEeUUxRi/s640/withliner-711119.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_2qSfXGHIwMeU4wgIXDAnY3J4Srk5vpHBPhcPZ_BEJRlrpV2JgseTjHlUIjdp0eOMJH1hPbCd4OjHzhKz0-cGpLXXde2uBzJVlxmU6S84oyBosc7T5bSRs87KIgBTPe8F_To5ZiR7Mxr2/s1600/collar-715970.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5819031357395968498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_2qSfXGHIwMeU4wgIXDAnY3J4Srk5vpHBPhcPZ_BEJRlrpV2JgseTjHlUIjdp0eOMJH1hPbCd4OjHzhKz0-cGpLXXde2uBzJVlxmU6S84oyBosc7T5bSRs87KIgBTPe8F_To5ZiR7Mxr2/s640/collar-715970.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrNjGOGIVhRtM7fRJTftQR5xgdz2iBadZUL5SRVXmlI10qNbiG3-WtepeqAZDJWiJF2Hv6_4IFvaVd6JtCqVDKc6RrFJjDtJ18vzkX-thYU5-26oNb-8I_rjKNBcQIXIwUtO9uE4bP_gRN/s1600/hole-719704.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5819031370349819026" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrNjGOGIVhRtM7fRJTftQR5xgdz2iBadZUL5SRVXmlI10qNbiG3-WtepeqAZDJWiJF2Hv6_4IFvaVd6JtCqVDKc6RrFJjDtJ18vzkX-thYU5-26oNb-8I_rjKNBcQIXIwUtO9uE4bP_gRN/s640/hole-719704.jpg" width="550" /></a></div><br />Use the collar from the hemma lamp base and trace a circle onto the bottom of the Ordning.

What I'd really want is a wake-up light that lets me program different wake-up times for each day of the week. Since I couldn't find anything like that, I decided to build one. <br /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br />IKEA items used: <br />- 1 Ordning cutlery caddy <br />- 1 Hemma pendant lamp cord set <br />- 2 Lobbo lamp shades <br />- 4 wooden dowels <br /><br />Other items used: <br />- 1 plug-in timer <br />- 1 Velleman programmable dimmer kit <br />- 2 faulty CD-R <br />- 1 old PC power cord <br />- odds and ends  <br /><br />The Ordning makes up the body of the lamp. This was lined with the first of the Lobbo shades, cut to size. One of the Ordning holes was widened to fit the Hemma cable plug thingy. This secures the cable, and additionally served to connect a grounding wire to the Ordning  - because the Ordning is metal, safety requires it to be grounded; that is also why I used a 3-wire PC power cable. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHIqT2uLj5OfgYVdMKo_kDhSxvOobgYFgsieoBFmvl2Mkqrt7sD2IBL5QsgMQOBLgRsVmmfAnBjzKfskQ65PMxXRaBC8fJlkQzD5Ev5ZpXsYtqzf_TbjjqhLaG3EYmEUH2Hgr_0i8i4EoJ/s1600/DSCN0169-740511.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687230946951504258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHIqT2uLj5OfgYVdMKo_kDhSxvOobgYFgsieoBFmvl2Mkqrt7sD2IBL5QsgMQOBLgRsVmmfAnBjzKfskQ65PMxXRaBC8fJlkQzD5Ev5ZpXsYtqzf_TbjjqhLaG3EYmEUH2Hgr_0i8i4EoJ/s640/DSCN0169-740511.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkBZptSTi7KlXd-JSYFdRTFsjzNYecpB8cQY2JaoO6nUS3LKLVm5Qd8FB4fi5xqh1AbmWJqCjf3JA-95C9nX3UU1whJWp8mGoM8d7dpJfWUqMrVFOwTeT3OepuW9o2UPvLVhgXEZ3JYjpz/s1600/DSCN0181-741950.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687230947955699570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkBZptSTi7KlXd-JSYFdRTFsjzNYecpB8cQY2JaoO6nUS3LKLVm5Qd8FB4fi5xqh1AbmWJqCjf3JA-95C9nX3UU1whJWp8mGoM8d7dpJfWUqMrVFOwTeT3OepuW9o2UPvLVhgXEZ3JYjpz/s640/DSCN0181-741950.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />I found that a CD is just about the perfect size to act as a "lid" for the Ordning. I stripped the reflective layer of two misburned CD-Rs (because I wanted light reaching the body of the lamp), glued them together, and enlarged the hole using the Lobbo fitting as a template. The CD and Lobbo fitting are held together by the lamp pendant, and kept in place by IKEA wooden dowels glued to the CD. There may be simpler ways to do this if you want to make a plain lamp, but I wanted a dust cover for the electronics. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPaVR3KgpO6kqZOehplzAjoepmU9CmUe61le2zdM96z6Pa6HEU1vr2q6NUauecY-zgFx0ws_LGILqiM3NJhOJjnHMWWuIgn4jagJWbnkWMqO7z0jKTfT4Ch57g5sp6jE3OWqQAmw9GkPz-/s1600/DSCN0175-743654.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687230954776777458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPaVR3KgpO6kqZOehplzAjoepmU9CmUe61le2zdM96z6Pa6HEU1vr2q6NUauecY-zgFx0ws_LGILqiM3NJhOJjnHMWWuIgn4jagJWbnkWMqO7z0jKTfT4Ch57g5sp6jE3OWqQAmw9GkPz-/s640/DSCN0175-743654.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqbznOzJJNbxi14z8zfnpFM-EhYFCscgyPxGqEYjocL37lfwo6vwMwkiS6AeDUX0eMyqWVFbwuyMoSGnbKwCmj-CoBriRdF9alcTAYDFZLbxw1X-ygagcaHMD5HzmTT-oPztsPDd-3wi2U/s1600/DSCN0186-745640.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687230961134993554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqbznOzJJNbxi14z8zfnpFM-EhYFCscgyPxGqEYjocL37lfwo6vwMwkiS6AeDUX0eMyqWVFbwuyMoSGnbKwCmj-CoBriRdF9alcTAYDFZLbxw1X-ygagcaHMD5HzmTT-oPztsPDd-3wi2U/s640/DSCN0186-745640.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />I sawed off the plug part of the plug-in timer and glued it to the "back" of my lamp, leading the wires in through the Ordnung holes.

Electric drill and adjustable metal cutter tool, rounded metal file, heavy duty gloves, goggles and two people<br /><br /><b>Description:</b> I was searching for a replacement lamp shade for my Samtid Lamp, after the original plastic shade had warped during three years use, this was down to it being in direct sunlight. Unfortunately replacement shades are not available and I wanted something more modern. I spotted the Ordning large cutlery holder on a trip to Ikea. <br /><br />Measure and mark the centre spot on the back of the cutlery holder. <br /><br />One person wearing work gloves and goggles holds either sides on the cutlery holder tightly, best done on a piece of wood to stop any marking on the cutlery stand, but prevent much movement when drilling. This is the best option if you don't have a work stand. <br /><br /><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitIYo0hJnO1gDDKc6SdngqAHX9t1rUEZM0XF6IuROwc3aSIYydz29PLtP9mozyWCB1wsYU_EXtUJqJ6lCMXvxc9y-Z6zQDp-fVu1_QThqSbQtgiG23CiGPV0qnwlK22r83d_h40xF5I4c/s1600/IMG_0650-779686.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601315876126727474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitIYo0hJnO1gDDKc6SdngqAHX9t1rUEZM0XF6IuROwc3aSIYydz29PLtP9mozyWCB1wsYU_EXtUJqJ6lCMXvxc9y-Z6zQDp-fVu1_QThqSbQtgiG23CiGPV0qnwlK22r83d_h40xF5I4c/s640/IMG_0650-779686.jpg" width="450" /></a></div><br />The other person sets the metal cutter to around 45 mm diameter, starts the drill slowly on the centre spot and quickly bring the drill up to full speed. Some heat is generated throughout the cutlery stand, but you should cut through in well under a minute. <br /><br />Smooth down any rough edges with the metal file and fit to the lamp. <br /><br />A simple hack to modernise this lamp.<br /><br />~ Ben Hallifax, London

It is one that holds a single bulb and has the plastic collar that secures a difuser/shade/whatever.   <br /><br />Using a Dremel I cut a small portion of the bottom of the Ordning ($3.99)so that it can slide up socket.  Once the light is installed in the ceiling the collar will hold the modified Orning to the light.   <br /><br />Pretty cheap/easy and it beat staring at a bare bulb.  <br /><br />~ Alan, Florida
