One of the tools that help create a comfortable atmosphere in the house is a beautiful lamp. The stores offer a wide variety of models. The better and more beautiful the device, the more expensive it is. Therefore, many craftsmen decide to make lamps from pipes with their own hands. There is nothing complicated in such a process: having simple details available, you can make a unique design. With particular ease, plumbers can make such devices.

In this article:

We collect a chandelier from pipes

Ordinary chandeliers are chosen as the main source of light in the living rooms, in the kitchen and in the bedroom. To diversify the design of the room and stand out against the background of acquaintances and friends, a device made from improvised materials will help.

To assemble a lamp from polypropylene pipes and fittings, you will need the following components:

• a ceiling lamp with a grate from an industrial lamp;
• two pieces of plastic pipes;
• the wire;
• plumbing tee and corner;
• two flanges, the same size as the cartridge;
• wooden block or other base;
• paint can;
• paper;
• screwdriver and screws.

First, disassemble the ceiling by removing the grille and cartridge, if a lamp with a grille looks good in your interior, then leave it. Screw the metal flange on the outside of the cartridge. Be careful not to damage the wires.

screw plastic pipe to the metal flange, then sequentially attach the angle, then another piece of pipe, a tee, and finally finish again with a flange. With each new part do not forget to stretch the wire.

Make several of these structures, and after everything is ready, they can be screwed to a wooden base. Be sure to run out and connect the cables to central system. The finished product can be painted in any color so that it fits the interior of the room. Don't forget to lay down some paper before doing this so you don't stain the floor. Screw in the lamp and, by clicking the switch, check the operation of the lamp made of PVC pipes.

By excluding the corners from the design and lengthening the plastic pipe, you can make a floor lamp. The main thing is to prepare a stable foundation.

Wall lamp made of flexible metal-plastic

You can independently assemble wall lamps from water pipes with rotary lamps. To change the angle of incidence of light, it will be enough to turn the lighting device in the desired direction. During work you will need:

• flexible plastic pipes 20-50 cm long;
• solid birch, pine or thick plywood for the base;
• electrical wire;
• cartridge and lamps;
• jigsaw;
• screwdriver and screws;
• spray paint and paper;
• sealant.

At the base we make holes that match the diameter of the pipe. From a small bar, cut out a place for attaching a cartridge, do not forget that a metal-plastic case will be supplied from the reverse side. Pull the wire through the flexible base and solid wood or plywood.

We insert the metal-plastic pipe into the base and fix it with screws or glue. We fix the cartridge in the prepared bar, and isolate the circuit with sealant. We paint the finished structure from plastic pipes in a pre-selected color and after drying we hang it on the wall.

You can make or buy a beautiful floor lamp for the cartridge - then the pipe lamp will look more attractive.

Table lamp made of muffs

Let's go back to the loft style, only now let's make a table lamp with one light source. It is suitable for home office or office. Depending on the chosen light source, such a product will help either focus or relax.

Necessary tools and materials:

• long and short nipple;
• fitting (six metal corners and three tees);
• six small nipples that will connect the corners;
• drill with a drill for metal;
• wire with plug and switch;
• glue;
• insulating tape.

Prepare metal parts by first cleaning them of grease stains with white spirit. Since the rein will need to be threaded through narrow holes, cut out the derailleur. Screw the lamp into the socket and insert it into the first square, before that, stretching the wire through the part. Fix the lighting device in the design position with glue.

In one of the tees, make a hole for the cable outlet. In order not to be mistaken with the place of drilling, imagine how the lamp will stand.

We fasten small nipples to the central tee with a hole. We connect tees with nipples and corners on the sides to them. This will be the base of the product. We fasten the corner in which the cartridge with the lamp stands to the long nipple, then comes the corner and the short nipple. We connect the two parts of the lamp together. Do not forget to stretch the wire in advance. Insert the switch back and test the table lamp.

Such lighting devices from parts of the pipeline will show guests and relatives your resourcefulness. Seeing the finished result, you will experience great joy and a sense of pride. DIY lamps will last a long time and will never go out of style.

Various interior items made from the most unexpected things and even scrap metal are increasingly becoming decorations for residential premises.

Many craftsmen make lamps from water pipes, both plastic and metal, cast iron, turning a simple plumbing product into designer items that are unusual in appearance.

Water pipe lamp

Self-assembly of lamps from pipes

It is very easy to assemble a lamp yourself from the remains of water pipes. This is completely independent of the material of manufacture. thinking through appearance and the purpose of a particular lighting device, the style of the room in which it will be located is taken into account. The properties of plastic to be heat-treated are taken into account, metal-plastic pipes are bent, and cast-iron pipes are folded through adapters and connectors into the most bizarre shapes.

The main thing that attracts creators is the cavities into which you can easily pass an electric wire. A variety of cartridges will allow you to choose the most suitable size and simply stick the material in the right place.

A lamp made of water pipes is perfect for a loft or country style room. A pattern carved in a large-diameter PVC pipe, illuminated from the inside, will decorate even the most sophisticated interior.

PVC pipe floor lamp

Making lamps from plastic pipes with your own hands is a very simple process. The material is easy to cut. It can be bent after heating. At the same time, it is not expensive, does not pass electricity and can serve as an additional insulator. But it should also be remembered that plastic is subject to melting and deformation, so lamps should be chosen that do not heat up.

If you use pipes with a small diameter, connectors and tees, you can assemble a structure of any configuration, simply by coming up with a suitable design and folding the components according to the type of designer. So, for example, a floor high product, folded through tees, with curved top lines, looks very impressive. Such a lamp can have 4 legs or a wooden round base. The number of installed lamps depends solely on the desire of the creator.

Decorate an artsy living room floor lamp from a pipe of large diameter, in which patterns are cut. Warming up its individual parts with a building hair dryer, you can bend the material and make the pattern voluminous. By cutting off some areas, you can make them more translucent. If desired, paint the surface in any color. All that remains is to fix the light source inside, put everything on a PVC or wooden base and connect the electricity.

The connection of individual elements is strengthened with an adhesive layer, having previously passed a cable of maximum length inside.

For giving

The manufacture of decorative products from old cast-iron pipes is in great demand for use in the country. It can be stylish sconces with large shades or a loft-style chandelier assembled in the form of bizarre curving lines with several lamps at the ends.

appropriate homemade lamps and as street lighting installed on wooden posts and the facade of the building. The main thing to remember is that any metal conducts electricity, so you should take care of reliable cable insulation.

For playground

Homemade versions of pipe lamps are perfect for playgrounds. They can be assembled in the form of a fence by inserting lamps inside areas with a large diameter. This design will reliably protect the light source from mechanical damage, and hidden cables completely eliminate the possibility of injury from electricity.

Fixing the pipe around the perimeter of individual entertainment areas, drilling holes in it over the entire area and inserting it inside led strip, you can turn the most banal platform into a fairy-tale world.

Wall lamp made of flexible metal-plastic

Metal-plastic pipes have 1 significant advantage over PVC products - they bend. A light source with such a housing can be turned in any direction without worrying that movement will lead to breakage.

For assembly, you will need a blank made of wood or thick plywood. A base is made from it, which is attached to the wall. In addition, you should prepare a pipe of the right size, a suitable cartridge, cable, electrical tape.

Installation instructions

First you need to draw the design of the future product, which will show how to make the main components. To work, you will need a drill, a jigsaw, a clerical knife and a few self-tapping screws.

A blank of any shape is cut from a piece of wood or thick plywood. In the place of the intended fastening of the pipe, a hole of the appropriate diameter is drilled.

For full functioning, a pipe of 20-50 cm (or more) is suitable. It is inserted into the hole in the base. Then an electric cable is passed through the pipe. On the reverse movable side, it is necessary to fix the cartridge. If necessary, you can use additional plumbing fittings.

When the flexible metal-plastic wall lamp is fully assembled, it is screwed to the wall with dowels or self-tapping screws, the LED element is installed and put into operation.

Plastic Tube LED Night Light

If cast iron products are more suitable for making loft-style lamps, then delicate white plastic is best used to create night lamps that fit into any interior. They are decorated with openwork patterns of any stylistic orientation, ranging from exquisite floristry to images of fairy-tale characters.

Manufacturing instructions

Craft plastic lampshade very simple. To do this, you need a wooden or metal base with a built-in cartridge, a piece PVC pipes s with a diameter of at least 15 cm and a length of 20-30 cm, a drill with a set of drills, a clerical knife.

To begin with, the edges of the future lampshade are ground and a pattern is applied. Then holes are drilled along the marked lines. different size. Oblong lines are cut with a knife. If you want to give the image more realism, you can cut off some areas of the surface, making them thinner to increase throughput. You can change the shape and bends of some sections by heating them with a building hair dryer and arching them.

After the pattern is worked out, the lampshade is attached to the base and the light bulb is screwed in. Now the whole structure is assembled and it can be connected to electricity. If desired, the plafond can be painted.

Chandelier manufacturing technology

It may seem to many that when using pipes and plumbing accessories, the chandelier will look rustic and even clumsy, but this is not so. With the right approach and careful execution, they create a work of art even from such simple materials.

Assembly process

For manufacturing, you will need pieces of metal-plastic pipes, splitters, a ceiling socket, cartridges.

To begin with, they think over the design of the future product and the number of lamps that will be installed. In the center of the whole structure there will be a splitter, to which pipes are connected and bent into the desired shape. Wires are passed through the resulting workpiece. Since the cord will pass through several endpoints, it is recommended to run parallel lines into each individual branch, connecting them only under the ceiling outlet, excluding breaks inside the chandelier.

Cartridges are fixed to each pipe at the ends, having previously connected them to the cable. Through a small piece, connect the outlet to the splitter. Then the electricity is connected.

The finished product is painted and supplied with shades. The main thing is that the result pleases the inhabitants of the house.

If you are thinking of drastically changing the look of your room or want to add home interior loft chandelier, then try to make a loft-style chandelier from pipes with your own hands! Master classes with photos will help you with this.

By the way, the loft settled in the interiors relatively recently - about 60 years ago, and to this day it is interesting with a variety of design concepts. It is appropriate both in large studios, where the living room is combined with the dining room, and in small rooms. Do-it-yourself loft-style lamps are a compromise between fashion and style, extravagance and everyday life.

Familiar objects appear before us in a new light - this is the do-it-yourself loft lamp. A special feature are long chains for hanging from the ceiling, non-standard lampshades or compositions of many simple lamps and uses.

2. We pass wires through pipes, then with the help of hinges we connect short tubes with long ones.
3. Cut off the wire leaving a few centimeters for twisting with a main cable that will be connected to the mains on the ceiling.
4. We screw the end of the tube into the cartridge.

Step 2

• Screwing the "legs" the future chandelier into the fitting and again we make the wiring: we twist the white wires with a white core, and the black ones with a black one, as shown in the photo. We wrap the current-carrying parts with electrical tape.
• Gently refuel cable inside the main brass tube on which the chandelier will be held. We fix it on the ceiling. After all, we screw in the light bulbs.

The result is an urban chandelier that, with the light of large lamps, combines the simplicity and elegance of an industrial or elevator style.

Master class number 2: Loft chandelier from pipes

Following current trends lighting, you need to take into account the economy not only energy saving lamps but also the chandeliers themselves.

Step 1.

1. First you need to clean all the pipes with white spirit or special cleaner if there are stickers, you need to remove them.
2. During work, the cord with the switch will have to drag through pipes, so for now we'll cut out the switch - it will be put in place later.

Step 2

• We insert the lamp into the socket and drag the cord through the square.
• In order for the lamp socket to hold, fix it with a glue gun, filling the cavity in the square, as shown in the photo.
• It is necessary to pour carefully, without reaching the thread.
• Let the glue dry.

Step 4

Prepare a hole for the cord on the other side. To do this, use an electric drill to drill a hole in one of the tees.

First, imagine how the lamp will stand on the table, only then mark the drilling point and drill the part.

Step 5

• We assemble the pipes along the thread using nipples, as shown in the photo.
• It should turn out: 4 corners, like the base of a table lamp, 3 tees are twisted together, the factory hole is directed upwards, and made, on the contrary, downwards, with no visible side.
• Two nipples are interconnected - this is the lamp holder. In the course of assembly, we drag the cable through the tubes.

Step 6

We disassemble the switch that was cut out. We pull out the old wires and use electrical tape to make a new twist, connecting the ends of the wire to the corresponding channels in the switch. Putting the switch back together.

Step 7

Check how the switch works and if you are satisfied with the look and stability of the lamp. If something is wrong, in such a practical design, it is easy to fix it by turning the parts.

Step 2

We connect the details of the chandelier in series: a flange, a tee to it, then a nipple, a corner, again a nipple, connected to the second flange, all the while pulling the wire through the tubes.

Step 4

Check the length of the cord from the socket to the height at which the chandelier will be installed. Until you are satisfied with the height of the switch - do not attach the lamp to the socket.

Vary the length of the cable until you find the optimal length. After that, you can do twisting.

Step 5

We fix the flange on the wall with screws and a screwdriver, because. the design is not very heavy. It turns out that the wire hangs just from the hole of the tee.

Plug it in and enjoy a small design element in the style of a big city!

Loft-style chandeliers focus attention with technical solutions, clarity of forms, without excessive solemnity, pomposity. This is the style of a big city, spacious domestic premises, where there is no luxury, but there should be a lot of light and work, creativity.

What else can you make loft lamps from

Do-it-yourself loft-style chandeliers from pipes deny splendor and chic, but they fit well into home and other interiors thanks to the continuity of modern trends and, of course, the mite of everyone who makes it.

from wood

Also, a very simple loft-style lamp, as in the photo above, can be made of wood - a master class in the article.

Made of plastic

The theme of recycling is very relevant in the loft style. For this, different jars and bottles are suitable. We also have ready-made ideas and master classes.

Made of glass and wood

Glass and wood are favorite and frequently used materials in a loft. Therefore, a lamp created from them will always look harmonious and stylish. Make such an iconic thing as in the photo above - (No ratings yet)

Author's lighting fixtures are sold at a fabulous price. In fact, making a lamp out of pipes on your own is not a problem. This does not require the purchase of expensive materials or in-depth knowledge of electrical engineering. Consider several options for home-made lighting elements from scraps of various pipes.

Desk lamp

The original lamp made of pipes will bring zest. The design can be assembled from scraps available on the farm or you can buy material at a hardware store. After purchasing all the materials, it will take no more than an hour to collect the lamp.

Among the necessary components:

• Long and short nipple.
• Six elbows for pipes.
• The same number of small nipples that serve as corner clamps.
• Three destinations.
• Drill.
• Wire with switch and plug.
• Insulating tape.
• Hot glue.

First, all pipes are treated with a solvent, the stickers are removed. The light element is inserted into the socket, after which the wire is pulled through the square. The lamp holder is fixed with glue. The design is processed carefully so as not to affect the thread, after which it is left until the adhesive composition dries.

Main stages of work

The subsequent assembly of the lamp from pipes is carried out in the following sequence:

• A hole is prepared in the tee for the wire on the reverse side using an electric drill.
• Pipes are assembled along the threads by using nipples.
• 4 corners are taken as the base, three tees are twisted with each other, the regular hole is directed upwards, and the homemade socket is directed to the lower invisible part.
• Two interconnected nipples will serve as a holder.
• The cable without a switch is pulled through the pipes.
• The switch is assembled and connected.
• The functionality of the pipe assembled is checked.

This design is easy to fix if you are not satisfied with the resulting design. The result is an excellent and inexpensive night light or work table lamp.

wall variant

A lamp made of pipes, the photo of which is given above, is made as follows:

• The grate is removed from the old street-type lamp. If it fits into the interior, this is not necessary.
• A pipeline flange is attached to the cartridge, which will serve as a base fixed on the wall.
• Then it is connected to a tee, a nipple and a corner. Another flange is attached, then the wiring is pulled through the pipes.
• Lamp height is adjustable.
• The lamp is connected to the cartridge, and the switch is mounted.
• The flange is attached to the wall with screws, the operation of the device is checked.

The operation will require the following materials:

• Luminaire with or without grille.
• A pair of black plumbing nipples.
• Cable.
• Two metal flanges, the diameter of which matches the size of the cartridge.
• Screwdriver and fixing screws.

Loft lamps made of pipes with a concrete base

The ceiling is made from several wooden hoops for embroidery and watercolor paper. The whole process is divided into the preparation of the mold, the manufacture of the concrete base, the connection of the wiring, the assembly and fixation of the pipes, as well as the arrangement of the lampshade. The container for pouring can be taken from plastic, its dimensions must be sufficient to withstand the weight of the entire structure.

Initial stages:

1. Using a knife, make a hole for the cable.
2. The wire for reinforcement is placed in a container.
3. The cord is threaded through the pipes with the necessary margin.
4. Marking tape is used to mark the exit of wires from the solution.

The cord must enter the cement mixture at the point of connection to the switch, then be fed through the middle part of the pipe flange, in which a hole is provided.

Final part

Further manufacturing of a lamp from water pipes is divided into several stages:

• A cement mortar is made, which is poured into the prepared form.
• The switch is fixed flush with the surface. Pay attention that it does not drown in the mixture.
• Mount the flange on top of the mortar, thread four fixing screws through the holes.
• After preparing the base, the wires are threaded through the pipes, attaching them to the flange.
• Next, the free edge of the cables is pulled to the cartridge, after which the latter is attached inside the pipe.
• The light bulb is screwed in, the switch is connected and turned over.
• A low wattage lamp can be left open.
• For a powerful light element, you will need to build a ceiling. To do this, take two hoops and watercolor paper, the seam is treated with wood glue.
• This design allows you to choose any color and used fabric coating.
• The finished lampshade is fastened with small screws that are screwed into the inside of the hoop from above, or a thin wire fixed on an additional pipe flange.

LED lamp

The PVC pipe is optimally suited for this device. It is worth noting that this option is equipped with autonomous power supply. The design of the lamp is as simple as possible, anyone can assemble it with a minimum of tools and materials. You will need several pieces of larger pipe for the base, including elbows and fittings, and a smaller diameter PVC pipe for the rack. The system uses a resistor with a power of at least 1 watt. This indicator is designed for 6 LEDs.

The circuit is connected in the standard way. It is recommended to use type. This will allow you to quickly make a nest under it in the pipe and will not require cutting additional elements in the form of a rectangle under the slide switch. In addition, the switch must not be instantaneous, otherwise you will have to constantly hold the button to operate the device. The lamp made of PVC pipes is equipped with a lampshade. Its painting is carried out in several layers. Otherwise, when the diodes are on, streaks or uneven processing will be visible. A battery of suitable capacity is mounted at a distance of 80 millimeters from the edge of the pipe at the base. You can also adjust the switch there. The main thing is that these details do not interfere with each other.

Loft chandelier made of pipes

Modern trends in the organization of lighting often require taking into account not only the efficiency of lamp elements, but also the chandeliers themselves. They can be created independently from improvised materials, while obtaining an original and inexpensive design. For example, it is possible to do ceiling lamp from plastic pipes. This will require the following components:

• Ceiling type socket.
• 12 branches for cartridges and light bulbs.
• Polymer water pipes.
• 12 small lamps.
• A can of special paint.
• Paper.
• Ceiling socket.

The work begins with the development of a chandelier model and the connection of the branches to each other. You can create both a symmetrical design and an original author's model (it all depends on your imagination). Next, lay out the paper on which the coloring process will take place. Perform painting on all sides and leave the lamp to dry. The ceiling rosette is painted on the visible side. If necessary, spraying on the chandelier can be re-applied. Then it remains only to connect the structure to the ceiling with screws and a flange, and also screw in the lamps. Check the design and enjoy the unique product. By the way, if the configuration of the lamp gets boring, it can be transformed into a different style in a few minutes.

Adjustable table lamp: the initial manufacturing process

This do-it-yourself lamp made of pipes is different in that it can be adjusted in reach and height. Many spare parts are available to find at home, so it's also profitable, as well as out of the box.

Materials used:

• Bicycle star.
• A pair of metal pipes with a half-inch thread (length - 450 mm).
• Flange.
• Fitting.
• Two knees at 45 and 90 degrees.
• Two ¾ copper tubes.
• Socket.
• Polymer sleeve.
• Electrical cable.

The asterisk from the bicycle will serve as the basis. Holes for the flange are drilled in its center, after which it is painted. Then an iron pipe is screwed into the flange. The upper part of the element is attached to the base of the lamp, and the second part with a large diameter is installed in such a way that a sliding effect appears. This will allow you to tilt the top of the structure by moving the top tube.

Final part

To fix the pipe in the lower compartment, a hole is drilled for the fixing screw. A pipe with a diameter of ¾ is soldered, which will allow you to maintain alignment, as well as get an original look. As a stopper, you can use a ¼ bolt, which is attached to the outside handle of the tap. The ceiling can be made in one of the ways described above, attaching it with screws, painting it with copper or golden paint.

The rubber bushing is mounted in the opposite end of the fitting, after which the end of the wire is cut off and pulled inside the pipe to the cartridge. The lamp is screwed into the cartridge, around which the casing is clamped. Such a lamp made of water pipes will make it possible to provide the right amount of light when various conditions. At the same time, its cost is minimal.

For a true jack of all trades, the remains of building material are a real treasure. From a pile of rubbish, he is able to create masterpieces suitable for interior decoration and useful for everyday use. Remains of plastic, plumbing fittings, plugs, metal fasteners are enough to create a beautiful and functional pipe lamp that can be hung on the wall or used instead of a table lamp.

If the finished product seems unpretentious to you, you can complicate its design by adding metal parts- pipes, bolts, nuts, legs from fittings

Self-assembly of lamps from pipes

Even people who do not know the basics of plumbing can build a product from pipe sections, metal and plastic parts, and it will not be difficult for specialists involved in laying communications every day to come up with their own, unique, interesting options. The suggested instructions are just examples of how quickly and easily unnecessary materials can be turned into useful things.

A plumber's dream - a lamp from a water pipe

For the device of household communications, polypropylene is increasingly being used - a durable, flexible, reliable material that does not give in to rust, which has been performing its functions for decades. Systems are installed instead of obsolete metal pipelines, which are dismantled and thrown into a landfill. Let's take a few used iron parts and make a concise, convenient lighting fixture out of them.

We will need:

• 1 pipe of arbitrary length;
• 2 flanges for stands;
• cross as a connecting element;
• 2 knees;
• electrical cord with switch;
• lamp (energy-saving or LED);
• cartridge, clutch for fixing.

If the base diameter is 20 mm, respectively, the rest of the parts have the same cross section.

Strictly technical, rough lamps and cozy home floor lamps are all made from ordinary water pipes.

The assembly process is simple. We connect the knees and flanges with the cross - the stand is ready. We insert the pipe from above, then fasten the coupling. We pass the wires, be sure to make insulation, since the metal conducts current, we screw in the light bulb. A few simple manipulations - and original lamp from water pipes ready!

In order to give the old details an aesthetically attractive look, we clean all the elements with fine sandpaper, cover with paint for metal.

Wall lamp made of flexible metal-plastic

The wall variant requires a more dynamic tubular LED luminaire that can be directed in different sides, and here metal-plastic products will come in handy. Unlike plastic parts, they are durable, have elasticity, in other words, they bend.

The ability to bend and take on various shapes will help make the lamp unique

The base, which is mounted on the wall, for convenience, is best made from a piece of wood - solid pine, birch blanks, a fragment of thick plywood. We drill a hole in it for a flexible element. From a small bar we grind the body for the cartridge, given that a movable fragment will be attached on the other side.

A ready-made pipe wall lamp is a great backlight for paintings or photographs

All that's left is to assemble. We insert an electric wire, previously threaded through the base, into a metal-plastic blank (from 20 to 50 cm long), fix the cartridge and produce insulation. We fix the base on the wall, screw the LED element and enjoy the effect. It remains to be added that the flexible tube for the lamp can be turned in any direction, and if desired, even tied in a knot, if the length allows.

The cost of metal-plastic products of medium diameter is low - from 60 to 100 rubles per linear meter

Three-arm horizontal illumination

A convenient lamp made of several movable copper tubes on a metal base can create full-fledged lighting for a small room or a backlight for paintings, photographs, collages or shelves with souvenirs.

To work, you will need pieces of metal pipes of the same diameter, copper bending tubes for making horns, several tees (according to the number of horns), a half-flange (for fixing the lamp on a wall or ceiling), plugs, electrical wire and fasteners. You will also need lamps - it is better to take LED ones that do not heat the surrounding parts and the illuminated surface.

The tool needed for assembly is in every home:

• jigsaw or hacksaw for metal;
• pliers;
• screwdriver;
• drill and thin drills;
• insulating material;
• paint on metal, brush.

First you need to prepare the copper tubes, then unscrew the base and finally assemble everything into a single structure. We make horns for lamps from copper blanks 30-40 cm long. To do this, they need to be gently bent so that they take the form of a smooth arc. Beware of creases, as the corners on the tubes will spoil the appearance of the structure and will prevent the electrical wire from being threaded.
