Step 5Insert the thick copper wire
Straighten out the conduit so you can easily slip in the wire.
Before you actually put it in, bend over a little bit on the end of the wire so that it cannot be pulled further into the conduit when you adjust the lamp later.
Next, simply slide the wire into the conduit. Make sure the end that you bent over is on the side with the lamp attached. You should have several inches of wire sticking out at the end of the conduit.
Now take your clamp and check if the copper wire fits through the hole. If it does, you're good to go. If it doesn't perhaps you could strip the wire to the bare copper and see if that fits. Or you could make the hole bigger, if you have the right tools.
All you have to do is stick the wire through the hole and wrap it several times around the handle of the clamp to get a good, rigid connection.
Note that this wire will not actually be conducting any electricity. It is only there for structural support.
Now there's just one step left...
