The idea here is to mount the lamp bases on 3/4" plywood and reduce their circumference to fit inside the 3" tubing. You'll need to be careful and cut a hole on the bottom for the wire connectors and a slot in the edge to slide the connector wire from the other lamp base.

This will only work with plastic bases, you can't cut the ceramic ones.

Also, it's easier if you put solder-less connectors on the ends of the wires for hooking them up.
