IKEA Kabomba Wall Lamp Adapter

Description

The IKEA Kabomba Wall Light is intended to be mounted on a wall where the cable comes out of the wall.

This base adapter replaces the included black base plate for one with a cable channel allowing you to route the cable out the bottom instead of having to route the cables inside the wall.

Depending on how you want to mount it, you need to use the proper adapter version.

In our case, we have them mounted on either side of a makeup mirror and they tilt inwards with the cable being routed down. The left version is mounted on the left side of the mirror, and the right one on the right side.

Please take not of which version you need.

If you need the cable channel to come out anywhere else, just let me know :)

Parts required

2x M4 heat inserts (Example: https://amzn.eu/d/dt69b3Q)

2x Screws (non-countersunk is best, but countersunk will also work)

How to print

Face down on the print plate (as in the STL)

Assembly

After printing, insert the two heat inserts in the screw holes on each side. Ensure they are inserted straight and flush. Insert into the Kabomba and verify that the screw holes line up with the holes.

Take extra care to pick the correct adapter base and verify that the orientation of the cable channel is where you need it to be. 

Mount the adapter base on the wall in the location where you want to mount your Kabomba using an appropriate method for your wall. 

Thread the cable up through the cable channel and out through the middle hole and connect it to the Kabomba.

Put the Kabomba onto the baseplate and while holding it in place, screw in the screws to secure it.
