EdisonPunk LED Desk lamp

EdisonPunk LED Desk lamp
My version of a EdisonPunk desk lamp. This build took around 8 hrs of time (belive it or not) nothing ever goes the way you would like it to go. So after many teardowns and rebuilds I ended up with this.
And once more I used Super Bright LED's out of a $2.99 Flashlight from the local auto store.
The Base is a candle stick holder, the neck is a lamp rod bent to my will,  neat looking lamp parts, two 90 elbow's and those I had to get at the  Headshop you wont find them at home depot.
The wrapping around the lamp rod is 12 guage THHN wire around 10 ft I used in all.
The lamp shade is the candel holder itself that came with the base. This lamp runs off a 3.7 volt lithium cell phone battery.

Nice lamp Grasshopper! If you ever decided to rewire this lamp, you might want to consider an Edison-style vintage bulb. I picked one up for about $10 bucks at Home Depot, and I'm sure it would look really cool in a lamp like this. But I doubt you could power it with the 5 volts off a usb port, you'd need to hard wire it for 110 volts, or use Junophor's High voltage power supply method.

Nicely done... though I shudder at the mention of that vile man's name... love the final look!
(Neat idea with the rod... at first I though it was hot water heater hose! (they are expensive, I've looked!)
