Bulb Lamp

Step 7Ding!

Ding!
It's done.

The shape of the jar means that there's a void around the bulb at the bottom (see second picture). It would have been easier to fill something with a wider neck, or a different shape such as a fishbowl. It could also be solved by putting the hole in the jar lid off centre, though this might cause the jar to lean a little in one direction. It would also be better to extend the lamp fitting upwards, to put the glow right in the centre of all the bulbs. Again, a fishbowl or other spherical enclosure might make this easier.

Overall I'm pleased with it though, as it's much better looking than the lamp base and bare bulb I had before.

Interesting, recycles and is a great conversation piece. I'm picturing places, in my house, to put one and ways to change it around a bit. Old colored Christmas tree lights perhaps? The possibilities are endless. Well done!
