WARNING!
Working with electricity is dangerous. This project is a demonstration of how to design your own lamp but all electrical tasks should be performed by a professional electrician. This DIY dimmable lamp is made out of copper pipes; we experimented with two different ways of making this light dimmable. We used a traffic cone and Quickrete 5000 concrete mix to make a heavy base for this DIY copper floor lamp.
DIMMABLE OPTION 1:
We used a WiZ Wi-Fi Connected Smart LED Light Bulb and then were able to control the bulb from a smart phone.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Good luck making your own DIY copper lamp and please email or tweet photos to @benuyeda or ben@homemade-modern.com
