I’m shocked that she was there in the aisle AFTER a bunch of people were down. It was crowded so I went around, and when I came around the next time, the aisle was empty and there she was! I’ve been wanting one like this for a long time. It was meant to be!
I have the tabletop touch lamp version of this lamp and couldn’t believe when I saw this on Facebook marketplace only 3 miles from me! I assumed it was a repurposed touch lamp that someone made into a ceiling lamp, but it’s not. I have baby hands which makes it look small but it’s actually quite large, 20 inches across. Can’t find a single other one for sale anywhere online. Took me two hours of searching to even find evidence that this was an actual SKU they sold. Super happy with my one of a kind lamp :)
The porcelain was super dusty but with a lot of time and a lot of cotton buds came up ok.
I bought her on live auction with no testing, but I knew I needed her. I am tickled pink she works! A bit of the flash is coming off, but I'll be very gentle from here on out. The picture isn't great for her chain, but I'll have to arrange it better later. She's going to have plants on the chain. You can see them growing nearby. Lol
I never post on reddit, but I thought someone on the internet might enjoy this lamp that I made over the past month.
The lamp is made entirely out of copper and brass, the lampholder is brass as well, with a ceramic core.
I refused to use plastic derivatives as it was the philosophy of the build, of course though, plastic is present in the pcb of the dimmer and the cables, which can't really be avoided nowadays.
The cable though is surrounded by braided copper, so its not visible on the cable.
I did manage to avoid using a WAGO for the earth, and instead made a earth bar out of brass, to which the body, the two cables braided copper, and the cables earth are connected to.
The bulb is a real incandescent 60W bulb, and the lamp can support up to 100W and in theory even more.
The lamp was made entirely by me, it uses copper pipes for the arms, 22mm for the post, 15mm for the other 3. Two copper discs and a copper roll, both 1.5mm, used for the base, with a diameter of 15cm.
The arms are held together via a sequence of all brass parts in this order:
bolt, washer, (copper flat part), washer, (copper flat part), two hex nuts.
My girlfriend just bought this for $75 dollars at a garage sale since she loves stained glass, but I can’t find a brand name to tell if she got a good deal. Thanks!
