LIGHTING YOU DOLLS HOUSE USING THE COPPER TAPE WIRING METHOD

Lighting your dolls house contract be exclusive of the extremely rewarding aspects of building and owning a dolls house. The use of working lights, fires and even televisions can really supplement commotion to your house and make it a centre piece of the room in which it is housed.

The use of copper tape to light your dolls house is just one of the methods that can be used (others will correspond to discussed in future articles).This method uses thin strips of self adhesive copper tape to conduct electricity around your house.

The first stage is to decide on the location of your dolls house lights. its socket should be removed from the end of any light and the small break drilled to shake hands the wire to pass through (in this box to its back of the dwelling). For ceiling radiant the hole should be drilled through the ceiling into its room upstairs and afterwards visible of the back of this room. This way wires can be covered over with carpeting etc. For wall lights that are not on its behind palisade these too can be trailed unraveling the wall and then outer to the back from the probability above (little groves can be made in the walls to hide the wire and keep a smooth breeze in for decorating).



Next we need to decide on the position of its copper tape. For a airs opening dolls house this would be the back of the house. The copper recording is laid down magnetism two strips that feed-lot parallel to each other (they must not touch or they cede short circuit). site the copper tape overlaps use masking tape between the two tapes to insulate. Tape should be positioned so that the lighting wires can epitomize easily connected and so that the wire creates a circuit.

Once the light has been commissioned the wire on the outside should be cut to the appropriate length to grant connection to the copper tape gone lots of excess wire. To connect the wire to the copper tape separate the wire into;nation dual strands, strip the plastic coating off and solder solo to either side of the copper record circuit taking responsibility that its nickels cores do not touch.

Plug in the transformer and check that each light is working as you go-don't wait till the end to try a figure out which light isn't working!

While creating lighting circuit whereas your dolls house is relatively outright forward it should be remembered that we are working with an electrical circuit and must follow safe practices. Remember to always extras the correct transformer for its job and NEVER connect straight to the mains.See More :
