Newly Enlightened
Didn't know where else to put this.
I have been tinkering around in my limited spare time and came up with a simple light that fills a purpose for me in a couple ways .
I was motivated to create something for myself that satisfied my desire to have a unique mood lighting source that met a few standards of my own
1)Made using copper (love that copper!!)
2)Low power consumption/no batteries required
3)Warm tint/low light level (night light)
4)Ability to utilize a timer for auto On/Off
5)Utilize UCL approved wiring/component for safety
This is what I came up with . sorry for the crappy quality
I am happy with the way they came out .
I have the ability to make 3-4 more 2 styles and wanted to see if anyone on CPF would be interested I have lost the source for the glass mushroom heads at a reasonable price and have3-4 left. If so I would set up a thread in For Sale section
Now these are not cheap for me to make so the price may be more than feasible for most? Since I am not a manufacturer or wholesaler all components in these are sourced retail .The copper fixtures alone are $30-$40 . I would be setting a price that would be covering my cost only for the parts. The hours I spend making them will not be include. Not trying to make a buck here.My motivation is just getting a cpl of these in enthusiasts hands and knowing they are being enjoyed as I enjoy mine . It takes hours polishing the copper fixtures by hand alone.
I would include a spare bulb (led) with each light for years of service. Uses standard Candelabra base UCL listed
The LEDs used consume a mere .5Watts and produce about 15lumens so running these everyday will amount to a few dollars a year . The copper reflects and adds a nice warmth to the output. Output is directed mainly upward and the wall/ceiling bounce effect is very cool and nice. ON/Off rotary switch. Wire can be brown or white. I hook mine up to timers for worry free on/off .these lights can be completely taken apart and cleaned/serviced by end user easily
Price would be in the $65-$85 just spitballing range plus shipping which because of wght and odd size would be in the $10 estimate?
Can elaborate and answer all questions as best I can to any interested. If no interest I am just happy to share my little creation with you
thanx for looking!!
