Procedures for the assembly of lamp shade: Secure all the materials needed. Prepare the tools and instruments needed. Analyze the wiring diagram. Mount the bulb socket at one end of the pipe. Insert the flat cord along the pipe and connect it to the bulb socket.(do the underwriters knot) Bore appropriate hole for the base of the lamp shade. Insert the other end of the wire to the hole. Install the switch somewhere in the middle of the flat cord. Install the male plug at the end of the wire. (dont forget do the underwriters knot) Position the pipe at the center of the base. Place the pebbles inside the container so that the pipe can stand alone Make the frame of skeleton of the lamp shade using the wire considering the dimensions of the shade. Put decorating materials like beads, sequence, glitters and other materials available to enhance the physical appearance. Insert the shade at the frame after connecting the lamp to the socket. Apply voltage to the lamp shade and observe performance. Troubleshoot the circuit if necessary.
Reminder It's very important to choose the right size of lampshade. Light bulbs emit a lot of heat. A paper or fabric lampshade that is too close to the light bulb can become a fire hazard. Likewise, cylindrical lampshades should always have enough clearance and venting to allow heat to escape. Never cover the top of a lampshade with a scarf or other fabric, as this can cause a fire.

A Schematic Diagram is a sketch showing the components of the circuit using standard electrical symbols. It shows the actual number of components, how the wiring is routed but not the actual location.
Types of Circuit
o Simple Circuit-is a wiring circuit which has a single load, switch and a source that could be either direct current or alternating current. This is the circuit used in lampshade assembly.
41
42
o Parallel Circuit- is a type of circuit where the loads such as bulbs are connected across the power source. Each bulb receives the same amount of voltage. If one bulb becomes busted, the remaining bulbs will not be affected. This is the most common electrical circuit used in household and offices.
43
Open circuit- the circuit is said to be open if there is an interruption to the flow of current. There is no current flow due to the following reasons, broken or cut wire conductor, blown fuse or defective switch.
Shorted circuit- this condition happen if line 1 gets in contact with line 2 wherein the current did not flow along any load or current consuming device. The result is excessive or high current and high temperature that can cause tripping off circuit breaker and blown fuse. In worse cases it can cause fire and damage to life and properties.
44
Grounded circuit- this condition occurs when the wire conductor accidentally gets in contact with a metallic object, you will experience electric shock if you touch the metallic object.

The following are the tools and materials used in soldering techniques. Soldering Iron- is a tool used to apply heat to the metal joint and to melt the solder/soldering lead to make a permanent joint. Its wattage ratings vary from 30 watts, 45 watts, 60 watts and 75 watts.
Soldering Gun- a soldering tool that has fast heating tip applicable for heavy duty applications. The contour shape is similar to that of a hand gun with a trigger that serves as the switch. The wattage rating of this tool varies from 60 to 100 watts.
55
Soldering Stand- is used to hold the soldering iron when not in use or at rest. It keeps the hot soldering tip away from any object to avoid burning.
Soldering Lead/Solder- is an alloy that is a mixture of tin and lead. This is usually made in hollow form with center hole filled with rosin flux. The rosin flux makes the solder melt quickly and cleans the joints being soldered.
Sponge- is a damp cloth used for cleaning the tip of soldering iron or gun and also used for wiping excess lead on the tip of the soldering iron.
Soldering Techniques
Remove the insulator of the wire you want to connect together.
Twist the stands of wire to be soldered so that it becomes one and it will be easy to solder.
57
Position the tip of the soldering iron underneath the work. Then place the tip of soldering lead on top of the twisted wires. Keep the soldering lead melt slowly until it wraps the whole twisted wires.
Starting at the cross section, twist the wires together around themselves.
Preheat your soldering iron. Tin the tip of soldering iron by applying thin layer of melted solder. Tinning is the process of coating small amount of melted solder on the tip of the soldering iron/gun.
Keep it cool. It should be smooth, shiny and no sharp edges, as shown in the picture. Then have it insulated with the use of electrical tape.
58
Reminder Clean the tip of the soldering iron gun regularly. Tin the tip of soldering iron. Maintain the pointed tip of soldering iron and reshape it, if necessary. Apply right amount of solder on the preheated metallic surface and not directly to the tip of the soldering iron. Let the melted solder flow freely around the joint surface. Solder the joint as quick as possible to avoid extreme heat on the components. Reheat the cold soldered joint. Use a soldering stand to avoid the tip to get in contact with combustible materials or your skin. Hold the excess terminal lead while cutting to prevent being hit by flying excess terminal wires.
