How did you secure the light socket inside the pipe? I've been trying to figure out how the maker of Kozo Lamps did it, and I can't figure it out! Any ideas?

Just a thought. If you wanted a more "upscale" look for the finished product, a plumbing supply store would probably have all the same parts in brass pipe, which you could polish up and then spray with lacquer to preserve the finish.

Bernie Says: Being a metal construction it shouls have a three pin plug and an earth conection. Regarding the soldering, I also solder everything but that is the difference between Electrical "Gurus" and Electronic "Gurus". However, it would pay to check the solder connections to make sure there are no spikes and put insulation or rubber tape around the joint before the heatshrink.
