Alladins Plasma Lamp

On a garage sale I was able to buy an old oil lamp. for less than 5 EUR. I have had the idea, to build a Steampunk Plasma Lamp with it.
Regarding the inscrutable´s of Mr. Ravensdale and Mr. Junophor I used an old camera electronics and a Neon E-14 luminescence lamp to light up this oil lamp again.
Due to the copper spiral the whole gas is glowing and gives a nice effect. Sometimes it looks like an orange glowing liquid.

Let´s make it!

Step 1 The parts

You need:

An oil lamp similar to this
E-14 Neon lamp
Electronics from an old disposal camera
Rotary switch

piece of 1 mm copper wire

Hi Horatius Steam

A very good idea to turn around the copper wire!

It´s a great pleasure to see this wonderful lamp and instructable

That is great! I love the way the copper wire looks wrapped around the light!
