Janninks tower, part of an old industrial building in Enschede. A couple of years ago i made a lantern from it with the little candle LED’s. And now it is also working with 220V lamps. It took a while to rebuild it, the thin paper design has evolved into two lamps: a thick cardboard design with a pucklight on batteries and a 160 gr paper design with 220V lamps. I’m particularly happy with the shade inside that guides the light very well.
Safety is always a concern with 220V applications. I use LED lamps (E14 fitting) that do not turn hot. But you never know. So I experimented with flame proving the paper and found a good solution that makes the paper flame retardant, this works well. For the children I also made a variation that uses a battery lamp. Much effort was spent to make it easy to build. It is safe and the lamp can be constructed without folding or gluing.
